Red Dot Design Award for two Shimadzu instruments

Shimadzu has been awarded two Red Dot Design Awards 2019 in the product design category for its new Nexera UHPLC series LC-40 and UV-1900 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The award ceremony was held in Essen in northwestern Germany on July 8, 2019. An actual Nexera series instrument and an explanatory panel showing the UV-1900 will be displayed in the city’s Red Dot Museum for the next year.

Experience New Benchmarks: the Nexera UHPLC series LC-40

HPLC systems are able to quantitatively analyze substances in mixtures containing multiple ingredients by separating and detecting target substances. The “Nexera Series” applies groundbreaking technology in terms of intelligence, efficiency and design. By incorporating Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities and sensor technology, the instrument’s users benefit from simplified workflows and increased laboratory efficiency. Running costs are reduced while supporting an environmentally-friendly lab.

Fastest scan function: the UV-1900 UV-Vis spectrophotometer

Spectrophotometers measure the intensity of light absorption and emission of chemical substances. They are used in Research & Development and quality control in a wide range of fields. Demand for these instruments is increasing, even in newly emerging countries. Equipped with the ultrafast scan function for data acquisition, the UV-1900 is capable of high-accuracy quantitative analysis and detection of low-concentration components. Its easy-to-use color touch panel supports excellent operability.
