JASIS
JASIS is Asia’s largest exhibition of cutting-edge scientific/analytical systems and solutions. It is organized by the Japan Analytical Instruments Manufacturers’ Association and the Japan Scientific Instruments Association.
The organizations participating in the exhibition come from a variety of fields including analytical instruments, bio-related instruments, testing machines, and digital transformation (DX). Participants also come from a wide range of industries, such as electronic, electrical, and precision equipment; analytical, testing, and inspection services; pharmaceutical, reagents, and cosmetics; and food products.
According to a report from the hosts, 407 groups exhibited at JASIS 2024. The number of participants over three days reached 21,918, greatly exceeding last year’s total of 16,115 and rivaling the number before the COVID-19 pandemic (2019).
Theme for the Shimadzu Booth: Analytical Transformation (AX)
The booth introduced analytical transformation, a theme indicating the form of analysis in the future as proposed by Shimadzu. In this approach, measures are taken to ensure that researchers engage in research at an even higher level by utilizing cutting-edge analytical and measuring instruments, robotics, AI, IoT, and other technologies to reduce the dependency on individuals in labs. To give people a real feeling for this, a list of software and solutions was exhibited near the entrance, focused on the laboratory workflow.

Engineers introduce the analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a focus of interest globally, and our new product, a combustion ion chromatograph.
GCMS-QP2050, the world’s smallest class of quadrupole gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. Engineers point out that sensitivity and durability have been heightened by fundamentally revising and improving the internal mechanisms, and that instrument maintenance time has been reduced by 95%
In addition, the Shimadzu Group held 38 seminars for new technology briefings which present new products and technologies to the attendees.
Combined Exhibition by the Shimadzu Group
The Shimadzu Group provided a combined exhibit across from the Shimadzu booth. At the venue, a stamp game was held in which people could participate by scanning QR codes. Eligible participants were presented with towels, pouches, and other novelty items. The employees wore polo shirts with QR codes printed on the back, and they interacted with the attendees.
Comment from the Person in Charge of Shimadzu Corporation Exhibition
This year, many attendees visited, and we are very grateful. In addition to exhibiting our key products including new items, our aim was to propose total solutions including pretreatment systems, automated instruments, consumables, and control and data analysis software. As well as creating a booth that maximized the experience for attendees, as an eco-first company, we designed it mainly with reusable materials, thereby ensuring significant waste reductions following the event.
Shimadzu will continue to make a variety of new proposals as a leading company in the industry.
