Gas Chromatography
Celebrating 65 Years of Gas Chromatography Innovation
A gas chromatograph (GC) is an analytical instrument that measures the content of various components in a sample. The analysis performed by a gas chromatograph is called gas chromatography.
Principle of gas chromatography: The sample solution injected into the instrument enters a gas stream which transports the sample into a separation tube known as the "column." (Helium or nitrogen is used as the so-called carrier gas.) The various components are separated inside the column. The detector measures the quantity of the components that exit the column. To measure a sample with an unknown concentration, a standard sample with a known concentration is injected into the instrument. The standard sample peak retention time (appearance time) and area are compared to the test sample to calculate the concentration.

Gas Chromatography Systems Comparison
This page provides a quick overview of 4 models of gas chromatography systems. Choose the model that best suits your analysis needs from the high-end Nexis GC-2030 for efficient routine analysis with its exceptional performance and high-throughput capabilities to the compact GC-2025 energy-saving capillary gas chromatograph with high value performance.
Brevis™ GC-2050
"Smaller, simpler, and easier to use – without compromising performance." That’s the demand from analysts. And that’s why Shimadzu developed the Brevis GC-2050. This new space-saving GC delivers uncompromising analytical performance in a modern yet rugged design, easily meeting the analysis needs of laboratories in a range of industries.
Nexis™ GC-2030
The Nexis GC-2030, Shimadzu's premier gas chromatograph, offers a modern approach to a classic chromatographic technique.
GC-2010 Pro
The GC-2010 Pro represents a new generation in Routine GC. Fast oven heating and cooling reduces the analysis time and allow high sample throughput. Based on high-end GC technology, it combines easy operation with efficient analysis and excellence in sensitivity and precision.
GC-2014
User-friendly with high cost-performance, the GC-2014 gas chromatograph is an excellent option for routine analysis. It offers great flexibility with support for both packed columns and capillary columns, and includes a self-diagnostics function to prevent downtime and maximize lab efficiency.
ELEM-SPOT™
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.
Greenhouse Gas Analysis
Gas chromatographs help analyze green house gases in air and soil.
Standard Method Compliant Systems
Shimadzu System GC Analyzers are built and tested to meet the specific analysis requirements of applicable industry standards.
Refinery Gas Analysis
Gas compositions produced in refinery plants consist of hydrocarbons, permanent gases, H2S, etc.
Natural Gas Analysis
Recently, natural gas has been recognized as a clean resournce for energy, in addition to being a raw material for chemical products.
COA Search for SH Series GC Columns is now available
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document that ensures the product meets the shipping requirements. COA Search for SH Series GC Columns has been released.
Artificial Photosynthesis Content has been Updated
Artificial photosynthesis is a technique to capture energy from the sun and store it chemically. It is expected to become the 4th renewable energy source along with photovoltaic, solar thermal, and biomass. Clink this link and the latest application is now available.
Shimadzu GC Driver for Waters Empower has been released
Waters Empower chromatography data systems can now be used to control AOC-30 autoinjectors in Shimadzu Nexis™ GC-2030 systems and perform packed column analysis. Space-saving AOC-30 systems offer reliable and long-term performance, and support capillary/packed column analysis using only a single GC-2030 system.
Greenhouse Gas Analysis
The greenhouse gas analyzer is a gas chromatography system that can simultaneously measure CH4, CO2, and N2O gases in a single sample injection, an analysis that was difficult to achieve with previous systems. Equipped with a robust high-throughput syringe injection system for processing up to 108 sample vials, this analyzer is designed to support research related to reducing greenhouse gas levels.
