GC-2030 APT: highest sensitivity with carrier gas flows from packed columns

With the GC-2030 APT, Shimadzu has introduced a new model complementing its Nexis GC-2030 series of premier gas chromatographs which provide powerful support for configuring tailored GC systems according to users’ needs. The GC-2030 APT is a basic version focusing on packed column applications. It is equipped with the unique Shimadzu digital carrier gas control for packed columns, single packed injector (SINJ) and packed thermal conductivity detector (PTCD).

The main advantage of packed columns is their high capacity. This allows for complete sample injection on the column without the need for split injection. Best operation is achieved by constant carrier gas flow over the column. In the GC-2030 APT, this is achieved with Dual AFC technology (DAFC, Dual Advanced Flow Control), a unique carrier gas supply that Shimadzu introduced with an earlier GC version. It provides two independent digital flow controllers with an operation range from 0 - 100 mL/min and free choice between nitrogen, helium, hydrogen and argon. Liquid samples are evaporated by a single packed injector. The packed TCD has been designed particularly for highest sensitivity with carrier gas flows from packed columns.
