10 Excellence Plus
Shimadzu presents its new GC-2010 Plus. The previous model GC-2010 already set new standards with respect to speed, efficiency, precision, sensitivity and ease of operation. As the successor to this successful model, the GC-2010 Plus now features new aspects in High-End-Technology. The external appearance has remained the same, the intrinsic values are different. Featuring the specially designed AFT (Advanced Flow Technology), the GC-2010 Plus combines highest separation efficiency with increased productivity and reduced analysis time. Analytical methods are improved continuously to ensure optimal consumer safety as well as environmental protection and continuous increase in product quality. As the number of compounds to be controlled steadily increases new ideas and new technologies must be applied to extend the separation efficiency in gas chromatography. In order to be prepared for future demands, using the latest GC technology has become a must for every laboratory. All components of a GC system need to be integrated seamlessly. Improved carrier gas control, injection systems and column oven performance together with a family of new, best-in-class detectors engineered using the latest technology make the GC-2010 Plus well suited for highest requirements. The new features of the Advanced Flow Technology additionally boost the performance of the system. Compressing processes and saving time are important goals for an analytical laboratory. Total analysis time determines the sample throughput that can be achieved. Fast GC with narrow bore columns as well as the possibility to operate two analytical flow lines in one GC independently of each other decreases total analysis time. Additionally, the GC-2010 Plus features an improved oven cooling using a double-jet cooling system to increase the dynamic heat flow to the environment. In food safety or in the detection of poisonous substances a lower threshold value often does not exist. Trace-level amounts need to be detected unambiguously and with high precision. The GC-2010 Plus detects and identifies trace-level amounts through its new family of best-in-class detectors utilising the latest technology with world-leading sensitivity.
Circle no. 27 ADVERTORIAL MINI LAB UHP NITROGEN GENERATOR
LNI Schmidlin AG mini nitrogen generators use the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technique. The resulting stream of height purity nitrogen gas 99.999% is ideal for applications including GC, car- rier gas, make-up gas, generally for most of the known flow applications. This very quite and small device is a real table top unit and equipped with on board air compressors, requires electric power only. Version 110 / 230 V 50/60 Hz.
Circle no. 28 FID STATION
The LNI Schmidlin SA Hydrogen / Air gas-generators FID STATION is the eco- nomical answer to high pressure gas cylin- ders in the laboratories. Hydropgen and Air (booth gases 100% free of Hydrocarbons) are generated from the same unit , ready to feed any kind of Flam Ionization Detectors (FID). Zero Air is made from compressed air from the laboratory and Hydrogen is made by electrolysis from deionized water. The FID STATION is very small in food print and easy to operate.

LAB AIR STATION’s LAB AIR STATION’s are avaialbe in 3 version:
AIR STATION includes a quite built-in air compressor for to supply oil free and dry air.
ZERO AIR STATION includes a built-in air compressor for to supply oil free and dry air . A catalytic oven removes the hydrocarbons down to 0.1 ppm.
ULTRA ZERO AIR STATION includes a built- in air compressor for to supply oil free and dry air . A catalytic oven removes the hydrocar- bons down to 0.1 ppm and in addition a set of PSA filters and specific scrubbers, to remove CO2, CO, HC, NOx, SO2 and O3 contami- nants and moisture down to less than 0.1 ppm.
The typical flow rates of the LAB
ULTRA ZERO AIR STA- TION are 1’500 Nml/min up to 30’000 Nml/min. The use of the LAB AIR STATIONS instead of gas cylinders reduce the ope- rating costs significantly.

The PermaCal has been designed to easily generate different types of calibration gases like BTEX, Acetaldehyde, Formaldehyde, SO2,... Equipped with a large size permeation oven, the PermaCal can hold up to 6 permea- tion tubes with sizes going up to 12 cm length and 1 cm diameter. The oven temperature can be set from 40°C to 80°C. The concentra- tion of the different components can be chan- ged by a factor of 10 using the internal Mass Flow controller. The total flow of the system will be from 500 Nml/min for the high concen- tration setting up to 5000 Nml/min for the low concentration setting. The unit can also be used for diluting high concentration gas cylin- ders to the ppm and ppb level as well. A large number of permeation tubes are available. Each tube is delivered with its permeation rate certificate. Ideal for any kind of laboratory-made gas standard with different concentrations.

Proxcys BV announced the installation of the world’s tallest High Performance-Radial Flow Chromatography (HP-RFC) column at Novozymes Biopharma UK. The 165L Stainless steel CRIO-Annular column was supplied together with an automated packing station.
Mr Ashley Wigley, Technical Support Group Manager at Novozymes Biopharma, commented: “Increased Fermenter Yields from our Recombumin®
process have put
pressure on our downstream processing capacity requiring the up-scaling of our initial product capture step. We had over 15 years good working experience with Radial Flow Chromatography Columns and were impressed with the advanced design of the new generation of Proxcys CRIO-Annular columns which further simplify operation, packing and maintenance. Floor space limitations in our downstream purification suite meant we could expand upwards but not outwards and the solution was a tall thin column.
There may be larger Radial Flow Columns in terms of volume or girth but I understand that ours is the tallest Radial Flow Column yet manufactured. Radial Flow Columns give Novozymes Biopharma significant advantages, over the more widely used Axial Flow Columns, with reduced capital cost, shorter delivery time, mechanical simplicity and smaller footprint.”
Mr Marcel Raedts, CEO and President at Proxcys BV. commented: “Since its launch in 2006, the easy packing and small footprint indeed are prominent features of Proxcys HP-RFC columns. Current frit size limitations resulted in the engineering of a 165-litre bed volume stainless steel CRIO-Annular column featuring an internal column height of 130cm at 12cm bed height, with an empty net weight of only 360kg.
In autumn 2009 the 165L column was packed following the standard protocol within half an hour using the AS-Pack 225 automated packing station. The annular packing resulted in a good packing result at first attempt. Hence with a throughput of 5,000 L/hr at 360cm/hr and a footprint of only 0.75m2
, this CS-1215 radial column is
truly maximising throughput at minimal floor space requirement. In general Proxcys’ CRIO-Annular columns offer a robust alternative especially where space or payload present issues in DownStream Processing.”
