NIC Osaka Technical Centre

Along with the foundation of Nippon Instruments Corporation in 1978, the company established TECH. CENTER (TECHNICAL CENTER) in the premises of its Osaka Office. TECH. CENTER is a department consisting of a group of engineers specializing in mercury analysis to address the uniqueness of mercury analysis, which may be unfamiliar to the public. The group members are specialists of Applied Technology in Chemistry and work every day on basic research of mercury analysis technologies and the development of new measurement technologies.

TECH. CENTER answers technical questions from customers who purchased our mercury analysis equipment and offers technical advice to potential customers. TECH. CENTER also accepts samples from customers for analysis, provides results to them, and supports customers in their analysis activities.

We can help you solve your problems through our analyzing and measuring know-how that we have accumulated since our foundation.

If you have any questions about mercury measurement, please feel free to contact TECH. CENTER.

NIC President

Isao Hamanaka

President

NIC was founded because of a solid desire to identify an easy way to analyze mercury by our predecessors who had discovered the reality of Minamata disease at the time.

No one should ever suffer from that again and we are committed to prevent it by having the easiest and most accurate way to identify mercury.

“Solid commitment & contribution in making Minamata disease a history”

Everyday I ensure only the best mercury analyzer is being made and shipped out of Japan to every part of the world.
