Shimadzu Assumes Responsibilities for X-ray Spectrometer Business

14 Mar 2007 - Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc. (SSI) announced the transfer of the X-ray spectrometer business from Kratos Analytical, a wholly owned subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation, to SSI. Effective April 1, SSI will handle sales, service, and technical support for current and future customers of Shimadzu's X-ray spectrometers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
 
"Acquiring the X-ray business further enhances our spectroscopy product line, giving customers a wider range of solutions to address their application requirements," stated Bob Clifford, PhD, Product Manager. "In particular, for those companies addressing RoHS and other regulatory requirements, the addition of the EDX provides companies with a single-source instrument supplier to meet their screening and quantitative requirements."
