Eco-label tags "Environmentalists" systems
In Europe four Shimadzu product series carry the eco-label representing the company?s multi-levelled energy saving program. The GCMS-QP2010 Ultra and SE and the LC-20AP systems, as well as the new GC-2025 and the TOC-L series feature the eco-label.
In Europe four Shimadzu product series carry the eco-label representing the company’s multi-levelled energy saving program. The GCMS-QP2010 Ultra and SE and the LC-20AP systems, as well as the new GC-2025 and the TOC-L series feature the eco-label. It tags only the most energy efficient instruments which meet the highest environmental standards. Users profit from lower running and maintenance costs and less energy spending.
The eco-labelled systems save between 25 and 40% energy. Furthermore, materials consumption is lower, operational costs are less and the CO2 emissions have been reduced. More environmentalists systems are already in the production pipeline.
The GCMS-QP2010 Ultra features an eco-mode for stand-by operation allowing a lower total cost of ownership with less environmental stress. The GC-2025’s power consumption is reduced by 30% for programmed temperature analysis in comparison to other GC models. The energy consumption of the TOC-L series has been reduced by 36% (100 V) and 43% (200 V) in comparison with conventional Shimadzu models (assuming 8 hoursoperation/day × 5 days/week).

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
