Celebrating 65 Years of Gas Chromatography Innovation

The Shimadzu Corporation is celebrating its 65th anniversary since the company began mass-producing gas chromatographs (GCs) in 1957. The history of Shimadzu GC started with its use in petrochemical research applications in Japan. Shimadzu has expanded GC product lineup to include automated sampler systems, gas chromatographs, and gas chromatograph mass spectrometers (GC-MS). Customers use them in various markets worldwide, including petroleum, chemical, food, environmental, pharmaceutical, and analytical industries. We thank all the Shimadzu users around the world for celebrating our 65th anniversary. In recent years, analytical laboratories requiring higher productivity have faced various challenges, such as the generational change of skilled analysts and the problem of helium supply, an essential gas for GC/GC-MS.

Shimadzu has been solving these issues by incorporating state-of-the-art Analytical Intelligence technology into its GC systems. We will continue to refine our latest analytical technologies and support our customers in solving their problems and help make the leap to the next technological era.
