Shimadzu Gas Chromatography
Gas chromatography requires various peripherals and supplies depending on the analytical
purpose, especially as it relates to gas management, flow line configuration, column installation,
sample injection and data processing. This brochure introduces various accessories and supplies
that support Shimadzu GC instruments.

instrument power supply or system ON/OFF operation, but also
enables automatic start up and shutdown after analysis ends.
Therefore, the supply gas can be shut off during

Low-bleed septum is not completely free of bleeding. The type of bleeding that occurs varies with the septum, and results in different patterns on chromatograms. In the case of
high-sensitivity analysis, it is necessary to select a septum whose bleeding will not occur at a point that interferes with the peak of the target compound. Conditioning for several
hours between 200°C and 250°C after extraction with hexane may help to reduce bleeding.
In the case of using a syringe for AOC, it is recommended to exchange the septum after about 100 injections. If the outside diameter of a needle of a gastight syringe is thick, it is
recommended to exchange after about 50 injections.

Glass Insert for Packed Column Analysis

When using a glass column, one may add a glass insert to prevent the column from accumulating non-volatile components. Please choose a
proper insert according to the inter diameter of the glass column.
When using a stainless column, it is necessary to connect a glass insert to a 3.0 mmID column at the side of the injection unit. Please exchange it
regularly to avoid poor reproducibility and peak shape caused by the crossover of residual sample, etc.
Note: Glass insert cannot be used in a GC-8A Series instrument when using glass columns.

Syringe Selection Guide

If a syringe is being used by hand, a manual syringe should be selected. If a syringe is installed in an AOC autosampler, then choose the
appropriate syringe and volume to suit your instrument and application.

Syringe Style
Fixed Needle Removable Needle

• Better option for experienced users or for applications requiring • Better option for inexperienced users
trace sample levels • Reduce cost if used in precipitation of salts or in situations in
• Recommended for use with an autosampler because the which it may bend easily (such as thick septum)
probability of needle bending is minimal • Available for many methods by changing needles
• Minimal sample carryover

Gas Tight

• For Luer Lock needles and fittings

• Specifically designed to install and secure Luer Lock needles easily

Needle Tip Style

Cone: Autosampler Bevel: Manual Injection

The cone-shaped needle tip is specially developed to withstand multi The standard general-purpose needle tip style supplied with many
injection demands and improve septum lifetime when used with an syringes is a 20 ° bevel tip. It is the preferred option for manual
autosampler. The cone design effectively “parts” the septum during injection when piercing the septum in exactly the same place is
piercing instead of cutting it, as would a bevel needle. difficult. The bevel tip is designed for optimum septum penetration
and prevention of septum coring.
Side Hole Dome

Samples are filled and dispensed through the side hole, eliminating
septum plugging of the needle. Ideal for large-volume gas
injections. The solid domed tip minimizes septum damage.

Plunger Style
PTFE Tipped Plunger
• PTFE Tip enables gastight analysis
• Suitable for both liquid and gas samples
• Ideal for analysis of highly viscous liquid because it reduces the
possibility of the plunger sticking due to micro particles (samples
should have no effects with PTFE)
• Plunger is replaceable

Note: Other kinds of syringes are also available. Please refer to pages 27 and 28.

Micro Solid Phase Extraction Syringe MEPS™
MEPS™ is Micro Extraction by Packed Sorbent and is used for sample preparation and handling. MEPS is the miniaturization of conventional SPE
packed bed devices from milliliter bed volumes to microliter volumes. The MEPS approach to sample preparation is suitable for reversed phases,
normal phases, mixed mode or ion exchange chemistries. MEPS is available in a variety of common SPE phases.

incorporate MEPS into a process automation workflow, combining
AUTOMATION sample preparation and analysis in a single platform.

Extract samples and make injections on-line using a single device, AOC-MEPS System
reducing sample processing times and the need for operator
intervention.

SORBENT LIFE
BIN life is dependent on the specific matrix being analyzed. For
example, C18 analysis of whole plasma samples is conservatively
25-100 samples before the BIN needs to be changed. BIN life of
cleaner samples is significantly longer.

Chromatogram of 22 pesticides standard solution (40 ng/mL)

When automated by an AOC-MEPS system, the injection volume is

much larger compared to the commonly used GC injection volumes
of 1 - 2 μL. With AOC-MEPS, the typical injections are 50 to 200 μL
of elution solvent.

A large volume injection technique that removes the solvent volume

from inside the injector unit while condensing the target
compounds should be employed.

CARRYOVER
The small quantity of phase in the MEPS BIN is easily and effectively
washed between samples to reduce the possibility of carryover. This
washing process is not practical with off-line SPE devices. With
automated MEPS, washing occurs while the previous sample is
running.
