Sustainable design, reduced energy consumption, small footprint

  • Eco-friendly HPLC/UHPLC systems with several models available to meet your lab needs

    i-Series are eco-friendly models built with product sustainability in mind – featuring reduced environmental impact through use of recycled materials during manufacturing, reduced packaging for transportation, and lower energy consumption during daily operations. Multiple configurations and accessories are available to suit your analysis methods. With the compact design and built-in UV or PDA detector, you can position additional detectors such as ELSD, fluorescence, or refractive index detectors vertically, rather than horizontally, expanding detection capabilities without increasing its footprint. The sleek design features LCD touch screen, a large capacity, open access autosampler, and a slim column oven with expanded temperature range and ability to fit up to six columns.

Analytical Intelligence features and remote operation

  • FlowPilot feature increases the flow rate gradually as the column oven warms up to protect columns from damage, saving money on lab consumables

  • Streamline sample analysis with automated functions from instrument startup to analysis completion

    The Analytical Intelligence features of i-Series systems enable higher productivity and maximum reliability by seamlessly integrating diagnosis, recovery, and prevention capabilities in one platform. Auto diagnosis of pump performance and detection of injector clogging prevent sample loss and enhance efficiency. FlowPilot feature increases the flow rate gradually as the column oven warms up to protect columns from damage, saving money on lab consumables. i-Series autosamplers include easy-to-use automatic pretreatment functions, such as co-injection, auto-dilution, and reagent addition that reduce lab workload. And finally, automated start-up and shutdown enable reduced energy consumption and less labor while maintaining high throughput.

Intelligent Column Management Platform (iCMP)

  • Seamlessly Connects Columns and Analysis Data

    Correctly managing the usage logs for columns is indispensable for improving the reliability of data. By combining Column Manager (a database), a special scanner, and 2D code labels (iCMP tags), the intelligent Column Management Platform (iCMP) automatically links information on used columns and analysis reports automatically. As a result, which columns were used, when, and by whom are clearly registered, thereby improving both usability and data reliability.

  • How to: Prime and Purge an i-Series HPLC Pump

    Many of the most common questions about operating a Shimadzu i-series HPLC system can be addressed by using the Autopurge function prior to making the first injection of the day. This video shows how to prepare the HPLC system for purging all mobile phase lines as well as the autosampler line. When these steps are followed and the Autopurge function is finished, a constant flow and pressure can be achieved, which makes the chromatogram collected reproducible every day!
