Overview
The Nexis GC-2060 (Shimadzu) is a modular gas chromatograph platform engineered for routine and complex analyses. It offers flexible configuration, a Multi-Mode Injection Unit (MMI) and compatibility with multiple detector types to support diverse laboratory workflows and long-term adaptability.

Key Benefits

• Versatile by design
  One platform supports routine testing and demanding analytical methods across applications.
• Expandable and future ready
  Modular options for injectors, injection units and detectors allow tailored configurations and upgrades.
• Efficient in daily use
  High-performance detectors, Analytical Intelligence functions and Eco Idling reduce operator effort and operating costs.

Multi-Mode Injection Unit (MMI)
The MMI supports split/splitless, programmable temperature vaporization (PTV), direct injection, large-volume injection (LVI), and thermal desorption/extraction modes, providing broad injection flexibility for challenging sample types.

Detectors
Configurations include next-generation FID and TCD designs plus ECD, FPD, FTD, BID and others. The redesigned FID achieves a minimum detectable level of 1.0 pg C/s and is compatible with multi-mode FID options and modes such as Jetanizer and Polyarc (options) for expanded quantification strategies.

System Expandability and Configuration
The system supports up to two injectors, three injection units and four detectors simultaneously, enabling one instrument to cover multiple applications while saving bench space and easing method integration with existing workflows.

Performance & Maintenance
Proprietary injection unit insulation and rapid heating/cooling improve temperature stability and uptime. Tool-free ClickTek access and optional ClickTek column connectors speed maintenance and reduce installation errors. Automated features include column conditioning (Clean Pilot) and Easy sTop maintenance state.

Smart Resource Management
Automatic Eco-Operation and Eco Idling learn usage patterns to reduce gas and power consumption and report savings and CO2 reductions. The Gas Selector enables automatic carrier gas switching to lower running costs. Hydrogen-ready configurations include an integrated hydrogen sensor for safe operation.

User Interface & Support
Intuitive GUI displays the instrument flow path and key settings for simplified method transfer and operation. On-demand maintenance support, procedure videos and remote display capability assist troubleshooting and reduce downtime.

Application Highlights
Application notes and technical guides are available for workflows such as dual-line gas analysis, aroma component analysis with MMI, alcohol determination in sanitizer gels and biodiesel ester content determination, facilitating setup and validation.
