<h3>We are pleased to inform you about the enhanced control capabilities offered through the <a href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products?manufacturerItems=95&amp;search=Clarity">Clarity software family</a>.</h3>
<h3>Clarity - Shimadzu Edition</h3>
Clarity - Shimadzu Edition expands instrument control options of Clarity Chromatography Software with <a href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?instrumentationItems=27&amp;mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=Nexera">Shimadzu Nexera HPLC</a> and <a href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?instrumentationItems=1&amp;mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=Nexis">Nexis GC systems</a>.
In addition to all supported instruments in Clarity, this edition brings exclusive control of Shimadzu Nexera HPLC and Nexis GC systems. 
The control of Shimadzu Nexis GC-2030 GC and Shimadzu Nexera HPLC is available only through a special Clarity OEM version called Clarity - Shimadzu Edition (p/n C50-28) which is available only in Europe.

<h3>Control module for <a href="https://gcms.labrulez.com/library?instrumentationItems=1&amp;mainauthorItems=1&amp;search=Nexis+2030">Shimadzu Nexis GC-2030</a> system</h3>
The Shimadzu Nexis GC-2030 Control module allows direct control of this GC (Gas chromatograph) using Agilent ICF (Instrument Control Framework). Direct control means that the GC can be completely controlled from the Clarity - Shimadzu Edition Chromatography Station enabling integrated GC control thus ensuring complete automation for laboratories. The instrument method controlling the analysis conditions will be saved in measured chromatograms. Along with the above-mentioned CG, the control module also allows controlling autosamplers operated through the GC. The control is performed via LAN. The minimum required firmware of the GC is version 1.09.

<h3>Control module for <a href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/library?instrumentationItems=27&amp;search=Shimadzu+Nexera+HPLC">Shimadzu Nexera HPLC</a> systems</h3>
Direct control of Shimadzu Nexera HPLC components using the Agilent ICF (Instrument Control Framework) tools developed by the Agilent company. The Clarity Chromatography Station - Shimadzu Edition allows for direct control of selected Shimadzu Nexera components (mostly from the Nexera LC-40 line), enabling Clarity to provide integrated instrument control and to ensure complete automation for laboratories. The control module includes parameters for the HPLC pumps, column ovens, detectors (including PDA), autosamplers, etc. A dedicated PDA Extension enables the evaluation of data from PDA systems.
The control module limits the usage of multiple Nexera HPLC systems in the same Clarity - only a single system is guaranteed to function reliably.

Nexera HPLC and Nexis GC systems  Supported in Clarity

This series of instructional videos will introduce you to FREE resources for creating a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) laboratory for college and graduate or even advanced high school level students. It could also be used as a self-study course. It demonstrates the power of electron ionization (EI) MS data obtained with GC-MS systems in the characterization of mixtures with computer library searches.
The NIST MS Search software and associated programs are utilized to process data and perform library searches. Two different chemical drawing programs can be employed to enter structures into the NIST program for structure searching and to determine if observed fragments are consistent with theoretical fragmentation mechanisms and isotope ratios using MS Interpreter.
<h3>Skills Demonstrated:</h3>
