Applications
The ALTRACE is the flagship model of Shimadzu energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers (EDX). Its X-ray optical system and signal processing system have been completely redesigned, and it provides high-sensitivity measurements of trace inorganic elements. Up to 48 samples can be analyzed consecutively, improving the efficiency of operations involving the analysis of many samples.
ALTRACE uses a high-output X-ray source, a new, high-efficiency detector, high-speed signal processing circuits, and a compact and highly efficient optical system. The detection lower limit has been improved for all elements in comparison to previous Shimadzu models, and the industry’s highest level of measurement sensitivity has been achieved. This instrument provides space savings and high measurement efficiency due to its compact size and a tray storage capacity of up to 48 samples.

Brevis GC-2050 Gas Chromatograph, Now Fully Loaded
Applications
The new Brevis GC-2050 Systems integrate the gas chromatograph Brevis GC-2050 with various pretreatment devices and detectors. The new releases include the "Automatic Gas Analysis System," "Jetanizer/Polyarc Microreactor System," "Customized GC System," "Multi-Detector GC System," "Thermal Desorption System," "Pyrolysis Analysis System," and "Headspace Sampler System.“
All seven systems feature the new "ECO Idling Function" in the Brevis GC-2050, which automatically learns device usage patterns to reduce gas and power consumption. For the first time in the world, the GC system visualizes the cumulative CO2 reduction during operation, enhancing users' energy-saving awareness. Additionally, the Brevis GC-2050 can be integrated with multiple pretreatment devices and detectors to meet a wider range of customer needs. For example, the "Automatic Gas Analysis System" consists of the new Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD), which is about one-fourth the size of conventional models, and the Auto Gas Injector GI-30, catering to the demand for high-sensitivity and stable gas analysis in the new energy market.

SPM-9700HT Plus Head-Slide Mechanism
Applications
The SPM-9700HT Plus scanning probe microscope can obtain localized physical property information in one tenth the time of previous Shimadzu models. It will contribute to evaluations and research into nano materials, as a general-purpose model of scanning probe microscope (SPM) providing both operability and efficiency.
With improved signal processing speeds and optimized control methods, this product obtains images of physical properties at higher speeds. Mapping images of the results of observations of physical properties, which took about 6 hours with previous models, can be obtained in 30 minutes or less using the dedicated Nano 3D Mapping Fast software (optionally available). Additionally, the software is equipped with NanoAssist, a function that supports stable imaging by automatically setting the observation conditions. It is also equipped with mechanisms to heighten operability, including a head-slide mechanism to quickly exchange samples, and CantileverMaster (optionally available), which simplifies attachment of the consumable probe.
