GC-2010 Plus
1 Overview
1.1System Features
1.1.1 Basic performance
(1) Improved reproducibility
Good reproducibility is obtained even for solvents like acetone, which have large expan-
sion volumes.
(2) Reduced differences among units
Sensitivity differences between detectors have been reduced.
(3) Improved detector sensitivity
The sensitivity of the detectors are better than previous models.
(4) Increased oven cooling speed
The oven cooling speed is faster than previous models.
1.1.2 Operation
(1) Intelligent diagnosis
The diagnosis function has improved considerably, with an advanced alarm system.
(2) Large LCD (liquid crystal display)
An improved, much larger 16-line LCD (240 × 320 dots), means that analysis parame-
ters and programs can now be listed, improving operation. The display can switch
between Japanese and English.
1.1.3 High speed analysis enabled
(1) Digitized detector signals
Detector signals are digitized to enable high speed analysis.
(2) High pressure-ready AFC
The inlet pressure can be set up to 970 kPa and the total flow rate can be set up to
1,200 ml/min as standard in order to be ready to use a column with a small inner
diameter (smaller than 0.2 mm I.D.) in high speed analysis.
The GC-2010 Plus is a state-of-the-art, advanced gas chromatograph which embraces the con-
cepts of flexibility, user-friendliness, and security. It meets and exceeds user demands for high
performance, advanced (functionality), high reliability, and high productivity.
These concepts are illustrated by the following features, which include high processing speed and
digitized signals.
