Corporate Philosophy
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.
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”.

Message from President
Nippon Instruments Corporation (NIC) was founded because of a solid desire to “identify an easy way to analyze mercury” by our predecessors who faced the reality of Minamata disease at the time. NIC is one of a few professional companies exclusively pursuing the analysis of a single element, namely mercury, since it was first founded in 1978.
NIC's Story
Continual improvements on the semi-automated thermal decomposition mercury analyzer Model RIGAKU SP at that time, led to the establishment of Nippon Instruments Corporation in the year 1978 under Rigaku Corporation’s ownership, dedicated to specialize in research, development and manufacturing of mercury analyzers to serve and support the scientific world on mercury analysis.
