Gas chromatograph Brevis™ GC-2050

for pharmaceutical applicationsfor the food industryfor environmental analysis

Overview The Shimadzu Brevis™ GC-2050 combines a space-saving 350 mm width with analytical capabilities for bench-top laboratories. Its compact footprint allows multiple GCs on a single laboratory bench and supports dual-line operation with standard capillary columns. Built-in Analytical Intelligence provides single-click maintenance routines, predefined column conditions, automatic leak check after maintenance with standby heating, and 2D barcode generation for quick access to online support resources.

Scalability and Detectors The system supports a wide range of accessories for flexible configurations, including an Automatic Gas Analysis System, Auto Gas Injector GI-30, Polyarc option and various samplers. The redesigned Single Filament Thermal Conductivity Detector (STCD) delivers improved sensitivity and stability in a reduced footprint.

Efficiency and Sustainability The ECO Idling Function learns analysis patterns and recommends optimized operation schedules to reduce carrier gas and power consumption. The software CO2 Reduction Visualization quantifies savings for environmental and cost assessments.

Applications and Compatibility Supports method and consumable transfer without configuration constraints across petrochemicals, food, environmental and pharmaceutical industries. Compatible with GC-MS interfaces and common pretreatment devices to simplify integration and method migration. Width: 350 mm for space-saving placement.
