Description

GC Application System

Distillation Gas Chromatograph System

The boiling point distribution of petroleum fractions can be measured by simple operation from LabSolutions menus. This system supports various distillation GC standards such as ASTM and JIS.

• Analysis by total area method, internal standard method and external standard method
• Various conversion and calculation functions from distillation characteristics (ASTM D86, D1160 conversion, flash point calculations, NOACK calculations, Reid vapor pressure calculations, etc.)
• Multiple distillation characteristic result comparison, statistical calculation functions

System configuration examples

Nexis GC-2030 AF (with WBI or OCI) or GC-2014AF + LabSolutions + Simulated Distillation GC Analysis Software (Select injection unit and column according to the target sample.)

 

Chromatopac

C-R8A

variety of peak integration and quantitative calculation functions are included standard. Designed mainly for quality control and other routine operations, C-R8A functionality can be fully utilized easily by anyone. The VP function for automating various validation functionality provides powerful support for GLP/GMP compliance. A high-speed RS-232C port (19,200 bps) is included standard to ensure full compatibility with computer network systems operated using CLASS-Agent or Chromatopac Manager, for example. An SD card drive is included standard.
Note: This product is not sold in EU area.

 

System Controller

SCL-40 and CBM-40/40lite

With Chromatopac alone, there are limits on procedures for postruns, comparisons with past data or the creation of reports, and data management. Using PACsolution not only heightens the efficiency of procedures such as for collecting analytical data on a PC, manual peak integration, and pasting analytical data into Excel ® or Word, but also heightens the efficiency of analytical data searches, and strengthens security. It also supports networking with other analytical instruments.

Applicable models	C-R7A series, C-R8A
PC	A PC running Windows ® 7 with a 2 GHz CPU or faster and 2 GB of RAM or more is recommended.
Number of connected instruments	Up to 8 Chromatopac units can be connected to one PC.
Connection range	Up to 15 m between the Chromatopac unit and the PC

 

Analysis Data System

LabSolutions™CS/DB

LabSolutions DB is a product that integrates the analysis data management functions of LabSolutions LC/GC, and provides for compliance with regulations such as the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s ER/ES guidelines. This product’s configuration is ideal for those who wish to manage all their data on one PC. With LabSolutions CS, all analysis data is managed in a database on the server computer, so the data can be loaded using any computer on the network. Additionally, even PCs that are not connected to instruments (client PCs), can be used to stipulate that analysis is to be performed, or be used for monitoring or controlling the instruments. Furthermore, the direct control of non-Shimadzu LC/GC systems can also be performed. Also, since the system is compatible with Windows ® terminal services, the functions of the client PC can be run on the server, thus eliminating the need for the LabSolutions software to be installed on the client PCs. Moreover, the system is compatible with XenApp by the Citrix Systems, Inc., thus assuring a high level of server management.

 

LabSolutions

Multi-Data Report

Multi-Data Report is an optional product that can be used together with LabSolutions CS/DB in order to create comprehensive reports that bring together all of the analysis data acquired from a multiple number of instruments. From the standpoint of data integrity, its use can be effective, since the reports can be used for audit trails and digital signatures. Reports combining data from a variety of different instruments connected to the system, including HPLC or GC, MS, FTIR, UV, or electronic balance can be created.

 

 

Integrated Workstation

LabSolutions LC/GC

This next-generation workstation integrates GC and LC control, and provides users with stronger network functions. It features a Quantitation Browser that allows you to verify multiple data acquisition results and has substantial functions for automating processes from startup right through to shutdown, which results in improved operator ease and analytical productivity. It is also provided with a PDF output function as well, which helps conserve paper. Nexis GC-2030, GC-2014 and GC-2025 can be controlled.

• Windows® 7, LabSolutions LC/GC and CLASS-Agent Manager are pre-installed.
• MDGCsolution is not supported so use GCsolution.

Note: GC-2025 control is supported from Ver. 5.51 or later and Ver. 6.10 or later.

Analysis Data Management Tool

CLASS-Agent

With many analytical instruments networked, the CLASS-Agent performs integrated data management using a database. Target data from the database can be searched for quickly. It also provides easy connection with Excel ® and other software, as well as LIMS and other computer systems. In addition, it can accommodate digital signatures and the management of digital records in compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Applicable models	Support for a number of analytical instruments including chromatographs, electronic balances, spectrophotometers (Contact your Shimadzu representative for further details.)
Controllable data	Raw data such as chromatograms and spectra, metadata such as measurement schedules and data analysis methods, PDFs and other printing images, files

 

Analysis Information and Data Management System

LIMSsolution

This system is used to manage the vast quantity of information from diverse analytical and measuring instruments in analytical laboratories. It is equipped with functions to fully automate analytical procedures and to heighten their efficiency. This includes connection with production control systems, test registration, creation of analysis instructions, creation of batch files, analysis and measurement, collection of analysis and measurement results, calculations for each analysis and test, etc.

Server PC	A PC running Windows ® Server 2012 R2 with a 2 GHz CPU or faster and 8 GB of RAM or more is recommended.
Database	Oracle 11g or SQL Server 2014
Client PC	A PC running Windows ® 7 with a 2 GHz CPU or faster and 2 GB of RAM or more is recommended.
