Automation and Remote Operation/Monitoring

Encourage a New Style of Work

 










 


 

Analytical Intelligence functions, such as FlowPilot and mobile phase monitoring, and LabSolutions™ Direct chromatography software can provide an automated workflow together with remote operation and monitoring from instrument startup to analysis completion.

Automated workflows incorporate the work-style habits of experienced analysts. The result is reliable data collected over extended periods.

Using Networks for More Improvements in Work Efficiency

LabSolutions CS chromatography software allows remote operation and monitoring of all instruments on the analytical network from any locations, even from home. Analysis data and reports are managed on a centralized database where administrative authorization allows managers to assign appropriate operational restrictions to operators, depending on their expertise and rank.

Mobile Phase Monitoring

Advanced Real-Time Mobile Phase Monitoring

Making sure you have sufficient mobile phase in the system—before batch analysis—is critical to keeping your lab running smoothly. If you run out of mobile phase mid-batch, you have to stop the batch and take corrective action, resulting in costly workflow delays and potential loss of samples.

To overcome this challenge, the Mobile Phase Monitor enables real-time, gravimetric monitoring of mobile phase levels to ensure maximum uptime. Levels for mobile phase or autosampler rinse solution may be monitored in up to six containers.  A large bottle version is also available. The containers can also be checked remotely from a smart device (PC/iOS/Android).

 












 

Mobile Phase Flowrate Control Function

Smart Flow Control Protects Columns

UHPLC chromatography columns can be damaged by sudden pump starts and extreme gradient changes, especially true with polymeric packings. Smart Flow Control (FlowPilot) increases the flow rate gradually to the method set point according to the status of the column oven, extending the life of your columns.


 

















 


Remote Operation/Monitoring Function

Take Control of Instruments from Outside the Laboratory

Using LabSolutions Direct, analysts can operate instruments remotely and implement pre-configured methods and batch analyses using the web browser of a computer or a smart device. Instrument status and chromatograms can also be monitored remotely to reduce the time and labor required to travel to and from the laboratory for improved work efficiency.

















 


 

i-PeakFinder Automatic Peak Integration Function

Process Large Volumes of Data with High Precision in a Single Step 

The manual integration of un-resolved peaks is a labor-intensive process and prone to inconsistent results depending upon the experience level of the user. Shimadzu’s proprietary i-PeakFinder peak integration algorithm is perfect for such situations. i-PeakFinder processes large volumes of data with high precision in a single step, saving a lot of time and increasing the consistency of results.

i-PDeA II Peak Deconvolution Function

Tools to Help in Dealing with Difficult Separations

The i-PDeA II peak deconvolution function uses a multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) method to enable qualitative and quantitative analysis of peaks not fully separated by the column. The i-PDeA II can also be used to check the purity of target peaks. (Only available when using a PDA detector and LabSolutions.)















 


Auto-Validation Function

Stable Operation Assured with Smart System Startup

An auto-validation function means anyone can follow a set procedure and verify the instrument condition easily. The auto-validation function examines solvent delivery stability, wavelength accuracy, absorbance accuracy, gradient accuracy, the presence of any drift/noise, and other parameters. Also, an instrument check function automatically carries out the routine inspections performed before instrument operation and creates a report showing system self-diagnostic results along with a record of consumables usage, including total solvent volume delivered by the delivery pump, total number of injections performed by the autosampler, and the number of hours the lamp has been illuminated. The system check function also manages auto-validation results, making it easy to accurately determine the operating status of the instrument.
  














Ayrıca, bir cihaz kontrol işlevi, cihaz çalıştırılmadan önce gerçekleştirilen rutin incelemeleri otomatik olarak gerçekleştirir ve sarf malzemeleri kullanımının bir kaydı ile birlikte sistemin kendi kendine teşhis sonuçlarını gösteren bir rapor oluşturur. İletme pompası tarafından verilen toplam solvent hacmini, lambanın aydınlatıldığı saat sayısını ve otomatik örnekleyici tarafından gerçekleştirilen toplam enjeksiyon sayısını içerir.
Sistem kontrol işlevi ayrıca otomatik doğrulama sonuçlarını yöneterek, cihazın çalışma durumunu doğru bir şekilde belirlemeyi kolaylaştırır.






 

















Automatic Report Generation Function

Facilitates Transfer of Results

The automatic report generation function in LabSolutions automatically compiles analytical results and presents the data in pre-prepared report templates. This function not only reduces the work associated with report generation, but also avoids errors and data manipulation associated with manual entry and generates well-crafted reports.
By setting up a network environment, reports can be generated, checked and approved from anywhere.















 

Open Access Sample Placement

The direct access mechanism on the sample racks allows the user to place the sample on racks not involved in sample injection, even during analysis. In addition, racks can be shared by multiple analysts without interrupting the analysis of samples placed by others. In general, this function improves work efficiency.










 


Maintenance Videos

Support Replacing Consumables

By reading a QR Code® displayed on the touch panel, the user is directed to a website with maintenance instructional videos.
This feature helps improve system availability and increases productivity.















 

User Interface

Simple Operation

The user interface replicates the system flow channel and is used to visually check the operating status of the system.
Method editing can also be performed from the same screen. Thanks to its intuitive design, even users who are completely new to liquid chromatography can navigate the user interface with minimal training.










 


Dual Temperature Control with TC-Optics and Flow Cells

Excellent Basic Stability

In addition to the temperature control function for flow cells, the i-Series uses new temperature control technology for detector optics known as TC-Optic (Temperature Controlled Optics).
This provides a more stable baseline that is less sensitive to room temperature variation and higher sensitivity during confirmatory testing and quantitative testing of trace components.
