8 New UHPLC System Released for Routine and Highly Regulated Environments
Shimadzu has introduced the Nexera X2 UHPLC system providing exceptional insights into the compounds analysed. It is perfect for routine analysis as well as applications in highly regulated environments demanding complex system setups. Compared to the predecessor Nexera system, this completely renewed Nexera X2 offers higher core performance as well as new features improving analytical efficiency in a wider range of HPLC/UHPLC applications.
The new SPD-M30A photodiode array detector provides superior stability and has been designed for ultra-high sensitive applications. It suits the analysis of trace impurities and hazardous substances in food or drugs perfectly due to its world’s highest levels of spectral resolution, sensitivity and outstanding separation. The new i- PDeA (intelligent Peak Deconvolution Analysis) function enables peak separation of non-separated peaks by extracting the peak spectra from co-eluted peaks, and quantitates them by exploiting the differences in spectra between each compound. i-PDeA enables users to visualise and detect a minor single impurity even when the impurity is co-eluted with an analyte.
Modifications applied to the pump side significantly improve Nexera X2’s stability in gradient use while reducing small air bubbles passing through the degassing unit. Additional micro reactor-based mixing devices can be selected for specific applications. A low volume quaternary option reduces the system volume in order to meet UHPLC needs while enabling a better intersystem method transfer.
The software has been intentionally adapted to meet the requirements for use in highly regulated environments. Software features controlling multiple gradients in a single system expand the system flexibility to use automated solvent blending on each pump in a binary gradient setup. Together with ultra-high speed data acquisition, software features maximise resolution on the PDA detector, ensuring peak deconvolution while squeezing maximum information out of a single analysis.

Analysis of Nitrosamines in Malt for Beer & Whisky
In Brewing Barley undergoes a malting process, the grain if first drenched to make it germinate and then dried in kilns to capture the sugar and flavour compounds for the brewing process. The Heating in the kilns can cause the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds in the grain, these can then potentially be passed on to the final brewed product. It is therefor essential that any malt used in brewing is checked for nitrosamine levels.
The 800 Series Thermal Energy Analyser (TEA) has been an industry standard for nitrosamine analysis since its introduction thanks to its incredible sensitivity and almost infinite selectivity for nitrogen containing compounds. The 800 Series TEA can be interfaced with most common GCs.

Ethanol Propanol
Methanol
Diacetyl TCA
High-pressure pipelines are used for transporting oil and gas. It is important to test the permeation of the materials used to manufacture the pipelines for a number of reasons. Firstly it is essential to test what levels compounds from the oil or gas to be transported through the pipeline permeate through the material. This helps to ensure that potential product loss and that ground contamination is kept to a minimum. It is also possible to monitor the degradation of the pipe material overtime to help ensure life expectancy of the material.
Ellutia has designed a system to perform this analysis consisting of the following main items:
• A 200 Series Gas Chromatograph (GC) fitted with Catalytic Converter (CC)/ Flame Ionisation Detector (FID) and Flame Photometric Detector (FPD)
• An automatic 6 position Gas Sampling Valve, installed in the GC Column Oven • An automatic 8 position Stream Selection Valve (only 4 positions currently used)
• 4 Mass Flow Controller units (MFC) for controlling of sample gas flow (air) to customers membrane cell
The flow of ‘sample air’ to each cell is controlled by a mass flow controller and passes over the membrane to take up any of the sample gas being tested. Each cell under test is continuously purged with air and flows to the Stream Selection Valve and hence to the Gas Sampling Valve and flushes the sample loop. At the start of the analysis, the sample in the loop is injected on to the GC and the sample gas analysed. Sulfinert tubing and/or Hastelloy C material is used wherever the sample is in contact to minimise sample adsorption.
