Contribute to Carbon Neutrality High-Sensitivity Analysis System
We contribute to quality control and technological development in for Inorganic Gases
fields such as artificial photosynthesis, hydrogen fuels, biofuels, and
other renewable energies, as well as storage batteries, which are all in-
dispensable for achieving carbon neutrality using the latest gas chroma- Solutions for Biofuels
tography technology.
Shimadzu’s proprietary technology has been adopted for the BID
(Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector), which incorporates ionization Analysis System for Gases
via a new dielectric barrier discharge plasma. BID is a new universal in Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries
detector that can detect any compound except Ne and He.

Designed with the Analyst in Mind
In today’s environment, results are needed regardless of whether the an-
alyst works in the laboratory, the office, or at home. With the flexibility
to accommodate a variety of applications, Shimadzu’s GC supports the
analyst’s procedures beyond the laboratory, at virtually any location.

Barrier Discharge Ionization Detector BID-2030

Nexis™ Technologies – BID

The BID can detect carbon monoxide and hydrogen, as well as inor-
ganic gases and hydrocarbons with high sensitivity, including formic
acid and formaldehyde, produced in the reduction reaction of carbon
dioxide using a photocatalyst. The Shimadzu’s GC features Analytical Intelligence to help
achieve improve productivity. Clean Pilot, a system conformity test,
and LabSolutions™ can provide an automated workflow together with
remote operation and monitoring from instrument startup to analysis
completion. Automated workflows incorporate the work-style habits of
experienced analysts. The result is reliable data collected over extended
periods and higher productivity.LabSolutions Direct is a remote access
tool used to control or monitor GC systems via a simple user inter-
face on a commercially available smartphone or tablet. Consequently,
analyses can be performed while monitoring the status of instruments
from locations away from the laboratory. In addition, Shimadzu’s GC
is designed to enable even beginners to perform reliable analysis with
various functions that reduce the burden of GC maintenance, such as
self-diagnosis, automatic carrier gas leak check, and click-tech that
makes it easy to install columns and maintain inlets.
We will continue to contribute worldwide by providing reliable
quality GC globally.
