Temperature programmable injector Optic 3 with LINEX (Automatic Liner Exchange)
The Optic 3 injector is a versatile tool for the Shimadzu GC and GC–MS product range. It features no discrimination and low thermal degradation of the sample.
The Optic 3 injector is a versatile tool for the Shimadzu GC and GC–MS product range. It features no discrimination and low thermal degradation of the sample.
Key features:
Direct heating Ohmically (unique)
Many different liners
Cold injections
Rapid large volume injections (RLVI)
Direct thermal desorption
Automated liner exchange (LINEX)
Direct heating Ohmically with low thermal mass allows:
High temperatures (up to 600 ºC)
Fast ramp rates (up to 30 ºC/s)
Relatively large liner inner diameter (3.4 mm i.d.)
Fast with cooling option LCO2: -50 ºC, LN2: -180 ºC
Fast cooling with external air
The large inner diameter (i.d.) of the liners avoids the problems encountered when using a PTV of small i.d., such as limitations in injection volume, no possibility for solids or inserts and low break-through volumes in thermodesorption. Special liners such as sintered glass liners for pesticide analysis are available. Using the LINEX (Automatic Liner Exchange) with the AOC-5000 autosampler the system can be fully automated.

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.
