COLUMBIA, Md. — Shimadzu Scientific Instruments announces the release of a full lineup of compact gas chromatography (GC) systems based on the Brevis GC-2050 model. The Brevis GC-2050 can now be equipped with a full complement of detectors, injectors, and sample prep devices, expanding its use into a broader range of industries and applications.

As part of this revamped lineup, a new Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) has been released. Approximately ¼ the size of conventional TCDs, this new detector significantly shortens the time from startup to stabilization, enabling stable, high-sensitivity analysis of inorganic gases and light hydrocarbons. In addition, a new Auto Gas Selector, the GI-30, has been added as an optional product. This gas sample introduction system for GC/GCMS is capable of automated analysis of gases containing adsorbable components with high injection reproducibility.

The Brevis GC-2050 incorporates additional Analytical Intelligence with the ECO Idling Function. This function automatically learns device usage patterns to reduce gas and power consumption during standby mode. As a result, it can help reduce power consumption by approximately 61% and gas consumption by about 92% compared to previous models. By visualizing the saved gas and power amounts and the cumulative CO₂ reduction, the system promotes energy-saving awareness and helps customers to create an eco-friendlier laboratory.

The updated lineup of systems includes:

• Automatic Gas Analysis System: Features the TCD and GI-30 for analyzing generated gases in new energy development and the green transformation field.
• Jetanizer/Polyarc Microreactor System: Includes a small catalytic reactor for high-sensitivity and high-accuracy quantification of components in biofuels using a universal detector (FID).
• Customized GC System: Equipped with the “VB-30 Series” valve box for gas analysis in quality and process control in petrochemical and gas manufacturing plants.
• Thermal Desorption System: Features the TD-30 pretreatment device for high-precision analysis of volatile compounds in the atmosphere.
• Pyrolysis Analysis System: Includes the PY-3030D pyrolysis furnace for analyzing resins and additives.
• Headspace Sampler System: Features the HS-20 NX pre-processing unit for analyzing volatile compounds in liquids and solids.
• Multi-Detector GC System: Incorporates Advanced Flow Technology for simultaneous analysis of various compounds using multiple detectors.
