Shimadzu Nexera UC SFE/SFC System with DAD Detector

Shimadzu’s Nexera UC unified chromatography system is the world’s first-ever unified and fully automated instrument combining supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The SFE/SFC/MS platform merges quick and easy online sample preparation with advanced chromatographic analysis and high sensitivity detection. The Nexera UC serves a wide range of applications, e.g. monitoring of pesticides in food products, additives in polymers, drug discovery in pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals and environmental controls or cleaning validation to name just a few.

System Includes:

• DGU-20A5 Degassing unit
• CBM-20A Communications Bus Module
• 2x SFC-30A Supercritical Fluid Extraction Unit
• SFE-30A Supercritical Fluid Extraction Unit
• Prominence Rack Changer/C
• CTO-20A Column Oven
• FRC-10A Fraction Collector
• FCV-12AH 6-port, 2-position high pressure valve
• FCV-11AL Column Switching Valve
• SPD-M20A DAD

Features:

• Very fast separation speed due to the relatively low viscosity of supercritical fluid
• Improved peak capacity and chromatographic resolution
• Efficient separation of analogues and/or chiral compounds by high penetration mobile phase
• Different separation mode leads to high sensitivity
• Improved sensitivity resulting from split-less introduction into detector
• Reduction of environmental impacts and costs by reducing amount of organic solvents needed
