Application Specific GC-MS Systems

Shimadzu’s unique ELEM-SPOT system is the world’s first Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) with an element-selective combustion unit (EL-30) included for selectively analyzing nitrogen-containing compounds or oxygenated compounds in complex hydrocarbon compounds with high sensitivity.

Method Package contains ready-to-use analytical conditions and sample pretreatment procedures optimized for Shimadzu mass spectrometers and specific analytical applications.

Shimadzu’s Comprehensive GC-MS (GCxGC-MS) System is suited for a variety of applications, including analysis of complex matrices such as a natural products that are hard analyze by conventional GC or GC-MS, and grouping analysis based on two-dimensional chromatograph patterns.

On-column derivatization allows for the direct analysis of extracted urine samples without additional sample pretreatment, which can significantly shorten the time required for derivatization.

Solving odor problems requires identifying the substances causing the odor.

Py-Screener™ Ver. 2 is designed to screen for brominated flame retardants, such as PBBs and PBDEs, and phthalate esters in polymers.

The analysis of dioxins in foods was mainly performed using magnetic sector (double-focusing) GC-MS instruments.

Smart Pesticides Database Ver. 2 is a residual pesticides database for GC-MS/MS Analysis, supports the Creation of Methods for MRM and SIM Mode Analysis of Residual Pesticides in Foods.

Smart Forensic Database Ver. 2 supports the creation of MRM methods for forensic toxicological substances.

The Smart Metabolites Database™ is a GC-MS(/MS) database that contains the information needed for analyzing metabolic components. In Ver.2, the number of registered components is increased to expand the reach of the analysis of food samples, focusing on plant secondary metabolites such as catechins and chlorogenic acids that are garnering interest as functional components to enable simultaneous analysis of over 600 components.
