The AOC-5000 High Throughput Gas Chromatography Injection System combines static headspace, liquid injection, and solid phase micro extraction modes in one instrument, so is suitable for a broad range of analyses used in the pharmaceutical sector.
This is a unique capability, according to Shimadzu, and allows quick switching from one application to another on the same GC system, enhancing the speed, flexibility, capacity, and precision of the instrument.
Top-mounted on GCs to save bench space, the system is designed with a syringe-only concept for transparent sample operation with no sample loops, transfer lines, or switching valves.
The system comes with the Cycle Composer package to provide methods, and control is through Shimadzu's GCsolution and GCMSsolution software. This enables the operator to setup, edit, and run AOC-5000 methods, without special programming skills. A macro language feature expands the application range for advanced flexibility.
The AOC-5000 is part of an expanded original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement with CTC Analytics of Zwingen, Switzerland.
