Shimadzu GC-2010 Plus and GC-2014 gas chromatographs can now be controlled using Waters Empower™ chromatography data systems. This control enables use of these compact GCs, which feature detectors with the world’s highest sensitivity levels and deliver high-precision analysis with excellent peak reproducibility, in an Empower™ environment.
FTDI drivers may be used only in conjunction with products based on FTDI parts. FTDI drivers may be distributed in any form as long as license information is not modified. If a custom vendor ID and/or product ID or description string are used, it is the responsibility of the product manufacturer to maintain any changes and subsequent WHQL re.
Seamless Control of Shimadzu GC Units
Set Shimadzu GC instrument parameters via the instrument method editing window in Empower™ and save as an instrument method. Achieve seamless control of GC-2010 Plus and GC-2014 units for functions ranging from the control panel and report output to audit trails.
Ease of Use for Instrument Status Check and Methods Creation
The Shimadzu GC control panel displayed in the sample analysis window in Empower™ includes functions to directly control Shimadzu GC units, such as switching the carrier gas or detector gas, or GC system ON/OFF. In addition, it includes such features as a monitor function that allows confirming the respective temperatures of the sample injection port, column oven, and detector, or the flow rate and pressure of carrier gas, and a system check function that displays the operating status of consumables. This helps with monitoring the instrument operating status during analyses and with routine instrument inspections. Furthermore, since separate instrument method editing windows are available for each device, even first-time users can set GC unit parameters easily.
Acquire and Manage Analytical Data Digitally
All detector signals are acquired digitally. Therefore, no SAT/INTM or other analog/digital converter is necessary. Gas pressures, column oven temperatures, and other instrument status information can be stored as channel data during analyses.
