Shimadzu Europe - Nexera UC - Unified Chromatography SFE-SFC System

The Nexera UC SFE – SFC – MS platform unifies quick and easy on-line sample preparation with state-of-the-art chromatographic analysis and high sensitivity detection. Nexera UC improves your analytical workflow through an unprecedented combination of Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) sample preparation with Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) analysis. The system enables a wide range of applications from isomers and chiral substances in food or natural products, analysis of biomarkers from dried blood spots and analysis of polymer additives in plastics and packaging.

Fully automated on-line sample preparation and analysis

Nexera UC on-line SFE-SFC is a revolutionary system that combines on-line SFE and SFC in a single flow path. Target compounds are extracted from solid samples and then automatically transferred to SFC/MS so that no human intervention is required. The Nexera UC on-line SFE-SFC system reduces the time for pretreatment of samples and acquires highly accurate data.

Unified speed of analysis, sensitivity, and resolution
Solutions provided by Nexera UC

• 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
