Shimadzu has announced the opening of a Shimadzu Solution Center at its North American headquarters in Maryland, USA. Covering 4100 square foot, the facility will be used to enable collaboration between customers and the company to develop responses to demand.
The Solution Center will showcase more than 30 instruments, including molecular/atomic spectrophotometers, mass spectrometers, liquid/gas chromatographs, x-ray spectrometers, balances, TOC analyzers, and materials testers. The center also has video and conferencing equipment.
“We are excited to offer this new capability to our current and prospective customers,” said Shuzo Maruyama, President of Shimadzu Scientific Instruments. “Customers require that instruments and software fit their specific needs and workflows. Off-the-shelf or one-size-fits-all solutions are missing the mark for many customers. Much of our current success is due to our agility in being able to modify hardware or create software directly from specific customer input. With the addition of the Shimadzu Solution Center, we have greatly enhanced our potential to collaborate with our customers on research and the development of new instruments, software, and diagnostic technologies.”
