Human beings have made effective use of mercury throughout history, but they were exposed to the threat posed by its poisonous properties when misused. Such is the case of Minamata disease in Japan, which resulted in a tremendous number of victims in the 1960s, with a number of patients still suffering its aftereffects.

Since it was first established in 1978, Nippon Instruments Corporation specializes in analyzing mercury. Efforts to control mercury emissions and prevent damage to human health as a result of mercury have just commenced on a global basis, but mercury is still present. This has led to an increasing awareness of the significance of accurately measuring and controlling mercury.

We, Nippon Instruments Corporation, are committed to contributing to our customers through mercury measurements and under our corporate philosophy of “Contribute to the Development of Society through Advances Made in Scientific Technology”.
