Event Overview:

For over 70 years, gas chromatography (GC) has been a cornerstone of analytical science, supporting laboratories across environmental, food, energy, pharmaceutical, and many other industries. As analytical demands continue to grow, laboratories require greater sensitivity, higher productivity, and more efficient workflows to address increasingly complex applications.

Join Shimadzu for the launch webinar of the new Nexis GC-2060 and GCMS-TQ RX Series, its latest flagship GC and GC-MS/MS platforms introduced during the 70th anniversary year of Shimadzu Gas Chromatographs. Discover how the latest advances in GC and GC-MS technology deliver improved performance, robustness, and ease of use for modern laboratories.

Through application examples, experts will demonstrate practical solutions to common analytical challenges, including complex sample preparation, method development, trace-level quantitation, and data processing. Attendees will also learn how optimized workflows, software, maintenance, and consumables can enhance laboratory productivity while reducing the total cost of ownership.

Whether you are upgrading existing systems, expanding analytical capabilities, or seeking the right GC/GC-MS solution, this webinar will offer valuable insights into the technologies and workflows shaping the future of gas chromatography.
