Scientific Instruments division
Scientific Instruments department was established in April, 1998. Since then it has been engaged in consulting of scientific equipment for research, development and quality control applications in industry and academia as well as distributing and marketing.
The colloid and polymer science have been the company’s another principle of marketing structure. The Zeta potential measuring technology has first been introduced among Japanese scientist by our chief scientist in almost two decades ago. Since then, not only the Zeta potential technology but also newly acquired particle size distribution measuring technology have been the key factor in advance colloid science researchers in Japan.
We are the authorized distributor for the following leading manufacturers. |
