SERVICE

We are an electron microscope specialist and are confident that we are equipped with technical capabilities to respond to customers’ requests.
As an officially registered clinical laboratory, we have various operation structures in place to provide highly reliable and high-quality analysis.
By gaining a common understanding of the scope of the analysis through meetings in advance and other means, we conduct our analysis by seeing ourselves as a member of the customer’s research project.

Please contact our Sales Division any time with your questions.
