Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has introduced the LC-2070 and LC-2080, its newest additions to the i-Series Integrated HPLC line. These systems are tailored for lab managers seeking reliable, efficient solutions that reduce hands-on maintenance while enhancing performance.

The LC-2070/LC-2080 incorporate Shimadzu’s Analytical Intelligence™ features, automating critical diagnostics and maintenance workflows. From bubble detection to predictive maintenance tools, the systems help streamline lab operations and ensure uptime.

Supporting sustainability and user-friendliness

With sustainability increasingly important in lab operations, Shimadzu has engineered the LC-2070/2080 with eco-conscious materials and power-saving features. Chemically recycled plastics, ecology modes in LabSolutions software, and durable components reflect a commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Features that support smooth lab management:

  • Automated troubleshooting and maintenance
  • Integrated column tracking (iCMP) for data integrity
  • Remote monitoring and control via smart devices
  • Easy-to-use full-color LCD touchscreen

Operators can follow on-screen maintenance guides, scan QR codes for instant troubleshooting and monitor column conditioning and peak shapes in real time, all directly from the instrument’s display.

The systems are well-suited for labs handling pharmaceutical, environmental, food, or chemical analyses and support hybrid or remote workflows through secure remote access.
