Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatograph

EXPERIENCE NEW BENCHMARKS
Chromatography Systems

In response to the wide variety of customer demands for improving analytical
workflow, Shimadzu is constantly introducing advancements in high-performance
liquid chromatographs, with features such as superior reproducibility of retention
times or for ultra-trace sample injection volumes, fast multianalyte analysis, low
carryover, automatic sample pretreatment, high-sensitivity detection, and longer-
lasting consumables. Using network technology based on the Internet of Things (IoT)
and the cloud to automatically collect information about instruments within
laboratories, it is now possible to not only monitor the operating status of
instruments, but also ensure instruments can always be used in their optimal state.
By merging and making further advancements to such state-of-the-art technologies,
the Nexera series offers the unprecedented experience of analytical instruments
thinking on their own to better support the analysis workflow of customers.
