Ultra-fast and Reliable Analysis

  • The key advantage of FluxEdge is its speed. The analytical flow path, from the sample introduction to the column, is designed to be inert and minimal, achieving faster analysis. With FluxEdge's high-speed continuous analysis, it is possible to monitor reaction compounds in decarbonization research, such as artificial photosynthesis and catalyst studies, providing continuous and rapid analytical results. This significantly enhances laboratory productivity.

Minimal sample volume

Conventional GC gas analysis can require more than 100 mL of gas sample to obtain accurate results. FluxEdge optimizes the sample flow path, allowing for precise and reliable analysis without wasting valuable samples. Depending on the analytical conditions, analysis is possible with a sample volume of just a few milliliters or less.

 

  • Low carryover

    In addition to supporting minimal sample volumes, FluxEdge minimizes carryover from previous samples, reducing the risk of sample contamination between analyses. The example in the figure on the right shows that there is no methanol carryover between analyses.

  • Low carryover

     

Unmatched Durability and Performance

FluxEdge uses a microvalve with a diaphragm structure developed by combining microfabrication technology from semiconductor manufacturing with Shimadzu's cutting-edge inert Technology. This provides durability hundreds of times greater than conventional rotary valves used in gas analysis.

  • High Durability and Maintenance-Free Design

    FluxEdge offers exceptional durability, with a heat resistance of up to 100 °C, supporting a wide range of gas analysis applications. This robust valve design, which is hundreds of times more durable than traditional rotary valves, ensures that the valve itself requires no maintenance throughout the GC system's lifespan.

  • Maintenance-Free

     

Versatile Scalability and Ease of Use

The combination of FluxEdge with Shimadzu's latest GC platform further enhances workflow in gas analysis. Since FluxEdge can be installed on the latest lab GC platforms, Nexis and Brevis, you can build a gas analysis system to suit your purpose from Shimadzu GC detectors with world-class performance, including FID, BID as well as TCD, and industry-standard capillary columns.

 

 

  • Various GC Detectors Available

    In addition to the commonly used TCD for gas analysis, a variety of GC detectors can be selected depending on the analytical purpose. For instance, combining FID with Shimadzu's proprietary Jetanizer allows high-sensitivity measurement of compounds like CO, CO2, and formic acid. Furthermore, the BID, which utilizes helium plasma, enables high-sensitivity detection of compounds other than He and Ne.

  • Wide Range of Column Options

    FluxEdge modules can accommodate both pre-columns and main columns. By separating target components from others in the pre-column and introducing only the target components to the main column, the main column's lifespan is extended, and column maintenance frequency is reduced. Additionally, a wide variety of industry-standard capillary columns can be selected, including PLOT (Msieve 5A, Q-BOND, U-BOND, Al2O3), 1, 5, WAX, Amine, Sulfur (supported columns will be expanded sequentially).

 

  • Easy operation with LabSolutions and Remote Display

    Instrument control and data analysis of the FluxEdge GC System are performed using the integrated software, LabSolutions. The GC Remote Display supported by the latest Nexis and Brevis GCs can also be used to check device status and view daily maintenance procedures and videos.

  • Easy operations
