Gas Chromatography (GC)
Since our first Gas Chromatograph (GC) was introduced in 1956, Shimadzu has been developing innovative GC solutions. By simplifying user interfaces and introducing tool-free maintenance technology, Shimadzu GC systems are built with the operators in mind. Each system in the product lineup offers unique strengths and benefits for different laboratories. Whether you need a rugged, simple-to-use instrument or a highly-sensitive research tool, Shimadzu has a system to fit the needs of your laboratory.

Gas Chromatography (GC) Product Lineup
Nexis GC-2030 Gas Chromatograph
Maintenance and ease of use have never been simpler with the Nexis GC-2030. With features like a full color, touchscreen display, tool-free maintenance, and the ability to use alternative carrier gases, operators have never been more in control. System can be configured with multiple inlets and detectors including the new SCD-2030 detector.
GC-2014 Gas Chromatograph
The GC-2014 is made to run when put through harsh conditions. With it's compact size and versatility, it can be used for everything from routine QA/QC work to specialty applications. Using everything from capillary to packed inlets, columns, and detectors, the GC-2014 is our most customizable unit available.
GC-8A Gas Chromatograph
Reliability and compact best describe the Shimadzu GC-8 gas chromatograph. This unit is great for laboratories looking to run the most basic applications or looking to instruct new users GC.
System GC
With the flexibility of the entire GC product line, Shimadzu can offer GC systems built with a specific application focus. At our US headquarters in Columbia, MD, we have a full system integration and testing facility to build specialty and custom GC configurations based on an application need. These systems include following specific standard test methods such as the analysis of Natural Gas by GPA 2261 and Transformer Oil as Analysis System (TOGAS) by ASTM D3612 or a custom valve configuration determined by a need in your laboratory.
Gas Chromatography (GC) Sample Introduction Options
AOC-20 Auto Injector/Auto Sampler
There is automation to fit any budget. The AOC-20i autoinjector can be used for a few samples or many when combined with the AOC-20s autosampler carousel.
AOC-6000 Multifunctional Autosampler
With automated pretreatment and the ability to switch between three GC/MS sample injection modes – liquid, headspace, and solid phase micro extraction – the AOC-6000 dramatically improves GCMS and GC analysis productivity.
Optic-4 Multiple Mode Inlet for Gas Chromatography
Offering multiple modes of injection including ultra-fast heating and large-volume injection, the Optic-4 can easily accommodate a wide variety of applications.
HS-10 Headspace GC Sampler
A cost-effective HS-10 headspace sampler offers a smaller carousel and loop mode sampling, great for routine laboratory work.
HS-20 Series Headspace Samplers
With both loop and loop/trap models, the HS-20 dedicated headspace sampler is an optimal solution for analyzing a wide range of volatile organic components (VOCs) in a variety of sample matrices. Perfect for use with either GC or GC-MS.
PY-3030 Series Pyrolysis Sampler
Not all GC and GCMS samples can be liquid or gas, sometimes solids like plastics need to be analyzed. Using the PY3030 operators can characterize virtually any organic material, from biomass to synthetic polymers using single- or dual-stage pyrolysis. The system comes equipped to run multiple techniques including Evolved Gas (EGA), Single-shot Analysis (PY) and many more.
TD-30 Series Thermal Desorption Sampler
The TD-30 is the optimal solution for gas and materials analysis. Its outstanding processing ability and excellent expandability provide strong support for all types of analysis, for example measuring air quality in buildings, VOCs of interior car materials, or even odors in packaging.
Gas Chromatography (GC) Software
Labsolutions – Chromatography Data System
Integrated software for LC, GC, LC/MS, and LC/MS/MS, LabSolutions features an innovative operating environment enabling more efficient workflows and enhanced functionality that provides complete data management to ensure secure information in networked laboratories. The full suite of software options allows users to obtain the data system best suited to their laboratory and objective. In addition, the family of LabSolutions software packages now encompasses UV-Vis, FTIR, ICP-MS, and more, allowing laboratories with a variety on instruments to manage data from multiple platforms with one C/S package.
Advanced Gas Chromatography (GC) Techniques
Multi-Dimensional Gas Chromatograph
This multi-dimensional heart cutting gas chromatography system, incorporating a “multi-Deans switch,” greatly increases separation power and simplifies the normally difficult separation and quantification of compounds in complex, multi-component samples.
Comprehensive GCxGC System
Shimadzu’s GC x GC offers about 10 times greater peak capacity of conventional one-dimensional chromatography, allowing separation of overlapping peaks based on differences in polarity.
Backflushing System
The backflush gas chromatography system discharges high-boiling point components efficiently through the injection port split vent to reduce analysis time, and prevent column deterioration and detector contamination.
Detector Splitting System
This system splits compounds eluting from an analytical column to multiple detectors to obtain multiple chromatograms, saving laboratories time and money.
Detector Switching System
This Gas Chromatograph uses a switching element at the column outlet to direct separated target compounds into multiple, appropriate detectors without a loss in sensitivity.
