SHIMADZU TODAY

Today’s topic is “Using Science to Analyze the Aroma and Taste of Craft Beer” from our website, “Stories of Excellence” which introduces various stories about Shimadzu’s efforts with customers and partners.

This instrument provides both productivity improvements and space savings while maintaining a high level of basic functionality and expandability of optional products.
