2010 Plus series, high sensitivity detectors

Demands for higher sensitivity and trace amount analysis are rising as researchers continue to seek the means for developing value-added products and securing high quality assurance. Completely redesigned, Shimadzu FID and FPD detectors achieve the world’s best sensitivity, allowing more trace amount analysis.

Best-in-class FID sensitivity has been achieved through thorough cleaning of the detector gas line and by incorporating the latest noise-reduction technology. Following is an analysis example of n-C12, 14, and 16 in n-heptan solution.

Minimum detection quantity: 1.5 pgC/s

With improvements in the inner structure and optics, the new FPD-2010 Plus, which is used for analysis of organic phosphorus compounds and sulfur compounds has been greatly improved. This detector supports analyses that require higher sensitivity, such as trace amount analysis of pesticides and analysis of odor substances. Seen here are two analysis examples: one of phosphorus pesticides and the other of thiophene in benzene.

Analysis example of phosphorus pesticides: 5 ppb

Minimum detection quantity of phosphorus compounds: 55 fgP/s
