Description
Building on the proven performance, speed and user-friendly design of previous i-Series models, the integrated LC-2070/LC-2080 systems deliver enhanced robustness, superior data reliability and next-generation automation in a compact, tabletop format. Equipped with Shimadzu’s Analytical Intelligence™, a suite of smart functions, the i-Series (U)HPLC systems ensure optimized performance from start-up to shut-down. These functions include automated bubble detection and resolution, self-diagnostics, predictive maintenance and recovery tools, all designed to reduce downtime and minimize operator workload.
Other key features include:
- 14-second injection cycle achievable to support high-speed multi-analyte processing
- Outstanding reproducibility and linearity with near-zero carryover, ensuring highly reliable data for both trace-level biological samples and direct high-concentration analysis
- Intelligent autosampler can be easily programmed to co-inject samples with a compatible solvent, ensuring robust analysis and perfect peak shape without manual intervention
- UV or PDA detector standard; refractive index, evaporative light scattering, fluorescence, and single quad LC-MS detectors can be added
- Advanced optical temperature control system for the UV/Vis and PDA detectors and flow cell neutralizes the impact of ambient room temperatures, ensuring accurate, consistent measurements
- The i-PDeA II peak deconvolution function enables qualitative and quantitative analysis of peaks not fully separated by the column
- Easy migration of existing methods from either Shimadzu or non-Shimadzu systems
- Automation of routine analysis procedures
- Direct injection of highly concentrated samples without dilution
To enhance user experience, a vibrant, full-color LCD touch panel provides intuitive navigation for users of any skill level. Operators can follow on-screen maintenance guides, scan QR codes for instant troubleshooting and monitor column conditioning and peak shapes in real time, all directly from the instrument’s display.
When paired with Shimadzu’s LabSolutions CS and LabSolutions Direct software, users can securely access data and control instruments remotely from smart devices, ideal for flexible or hybrid work environments.
