The Optic 3 injector is a versatile tool for the Shimadzu GC and GC–MS product range. It features no discrimination and low thermal degradation of the sample.
The Optic 3 injector is a versatile tool for the Shimadzu GC and GC–MS product range. It features no discrimination and low thermal degradation of the sample.
Key features:
Direct heating Ohmically (unique)
Many different liners
Cold injections
Rapid large volume injections (RLVI)
Direct thermal desorption
Automated liner exchange (LINEX)
Direct heating Ohmically with low thermal mass allows:
High temperatures (up to 600 ºC)
Fast ramp rates (up to 30 ºC/s)
Relatively large liner inner diameter (3.4 mm i.d.)
Fast with cooling option LCO2: -50 ºC, LN2: -180 ºC
Fast cooling with external air
The large inner diameter (i.d.) of the liners avoids the problems encountered when using a PTV of small i.d., such as limitations in injection volume, no possibility for solids or inserts and low break-through volumes in thermodesorption. Special liners such as sintered glass liners for pesticide analysis are available. Using the LINEX (Automatic Liner Exchange) with the AOC-5000 autosampler the system can be fully automated.

High-Throughput 4D TIMS Method Accelerates Lipidomics Analysis
April 25th 2024Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) had been previously proposed for untargeted lipidomics analysis, but this updated approach was reported by the authors to reduce run time to 4 min.
