ELEM-SPOT ™ Biomass energy, chemical recycling, and other new technologies are being researched and developed around
the world in an effort to achieve a carbon-neutral society. However, there is concern that, unlike conventional
fossil fuels, new raw materials generated from such R&D efforts may contain hydrocarbon mixtures that could
Element Selective Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer have a detrimental effect on product quality or production processes. Of the hydrocarbons involved, it can be
particularly dif cult to detect heterocyclic compounds selectively with high sensitivity. Shimadzu’s unique
ELEM-SPOT system is the world’s rst 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.
