Shimadzu Prominence i LC 2030 Price and Cost of Ownership: Reliable Performance at Lower Cost

The Shimadzu Prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC System with UV Detector provides a compact and cost-effective chromatography solution for pharmaceutical, environmental, food safety, chemical, and research laboratories requiring reliable HPLC analysis and routine quantitative testing. New systems typically range from approximately $55,000 to $62,000, depending on configuration, software packages, and autosampler options, while certified refurbished systems generally range from $20,000 to $25,000, offering substantial savings on initial capital investment. In addition to acquisition costs, laboratories should consider ongoing operational expenses such as HPLC solvents, mobile phase additives, analytical columns, UV lamp replacements, tubing, pump seals, autosampler consumables, calibration standards, preventive maintenance, software licensing, and compliance-related qualification support for USP, FDA, AOAC, ISO, and cGMP workflows. Long-term ownership considerations may also include detector servicing, pump maintenance, replacement electronic components, and optional service contracts to maintain stable chromatographic performance and dependable analytical reproducibility in high-throughput laboratory environments. Purchasing a certified refurbished Shimadzu Prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC System with UV Detector allows laboratories to significantly reduce ownership costs while still benefiting from reliable solvent delivery, integrated automation, stable retention times, and proven long-term chromatographic performance for regulated and research-based analytical applications.

EPA Method 8321B Analysis Using the Shimadzu HPLC Prominence-i LC-2030

The Shimadzu Prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC System with integrated UV detection is well suited for analytical workflows that utilize the ultraviolet (UV) detection option described in EPA Method 8321B for the determination of selected solvent-extractable nonvolatile organic compounds in environmental samples. Designed to deliver precise solvent delivery, stable gradient performance, and reproducible chromatographic separations, the LC-2030 provides the analytical performance required for challenging environmental matrices. Its integrated high-sensitivity UV detector supports wavelength-specific quantitative analysis of UV-active compounds and can be incorporated into laboratory methods employing the UV detection approach described in EPA Method 8321B. Because EPA Method 8321B provides for either ultraviolet (UV) detection or thermospray mass spectrometry (HPLC/TS-MS), depending on the target analytes and laboratory methodology, laboratories should validate the LC-2030 configuration for their specific analyte list, performance requirements, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Combining an integrated instrument design, dependable chromatographic reproducibility, and reliable UV detection performance, the Shimadzu Prominence-i LC-2030 HPLC System provides a compact, efficient solution for environmental laboratories performing routine HPLC analyses that incorporate the UV-detection option of EPA Method 8321B.
