New Integrated HPLC/UHPLC from Shimadzu
Shimadzu announces the launch of the i-Series LC-2070/LC-2080 Integrated HPLC/UHPLC Systems, designed to meet the evolving demands of pharmaceutical laboratories. These compact, robust instruments feature Analytical Intelligence™ with auto-diagnostics and auto-recovery, reducing downtime and operator workload. The integrated column management platform (iCMP) streamlines column tracking and enhances data integrity, while ultra-fast injection cycles and ultra-low carryover ensure outstanding reproducibility and reliability.
Sustainability is a key focus, with the new i-Series using 20% less energy than comparable systems on the market, supported by LabSolutions software’s ecology modes and automated shutdown functions to further lower power consumption and waste. The AI-powered Peakintelligence™ algorithm accelerates chromatogram analysis, reducing manual correction time by 75%. Purpose-built for pharmaceutical quality control, R&D, and routine testing, Shimadzu’s latest i-Series delivers next-generation automation, performance, and eco-friendly operation.

Shimadzu Launches ALTRACE EDXRF Spectrometer for Efficient Elemental Analysis
Shimadzu’s ALTRACE EDXRF spectrometer offers lab managers high-sensitivity, low-prep elemental analysis with automated throughput and sub-ppm detection.
Shimadzu has introduced its latest energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) solution, the ALTRACE spectrometer. Built for high-throughput environments, the ALTRACE provides accurate trace element detection from sodium to uranium using a high-energy 65 kV X-ray tube and proprietary high-count rate detector.
Reducing Workload While Improving Sensitivity
This new system significantly reduces the workload for lab managers and analysts by minimising sample preparation. ALTRACE accommodates liquid, solid, and powder samples, eliminating the need for time-consuming digestion steps typical of AAS or ICP-OES methods.
Key benefits include:
- Sub-ppm sensitivity even for heavy metals like cadmium and lead
- Faster measurement throughput with automatic analysis of up to 48 samples
- Precision analysis without needing to recreate calibration curves
- Seamless scheduling adjustments during analysis
According to Shimadzu, eliminating the sample digestion process lowers costs and simplifies screening, while enabling precision analysis using the same sample.
Deeper Technical Advantages for Lab Managers
- Enhanced sensitivity over previous models: Compared to the EDX-7200, ALTRACE improves detection limits by up to 80% for key heavy metals like Pb and Cd.
- Automatic filter switching: Six filters (eight types) help improve signal-to-noise ratios and enable flexible targeting of different elemental ranges.
- FP and background FP methods: These advanced quantification techniques reduce the need for standard samples and enable reliable matrix corrections.
- Compatible with vacuum analysis: A dedicated vacuum measurement unit enhances sensitivity for light elements.
Versatility Across Sample Types and Applications
ALTRACE supports:
- Direct analysis of solids, powders, liquids, and organic solvents
- Both screening and precision analysis in food safety, soil testing, and chemical product quality control
- Analysis of over 25 elements in soil and food matrices with high reproducibility.
Lab managers will appreciate that the autosampler’s drawer-style design allows sample additions even mid-run, helping avoid workflow interruptions.
