JASCO – Excellence in Spectroscopy and Chromatography

JASCO is a Japanese company specializing in the design and manufacturing of high-precision spectroscopy and chromatography instruments. Established in 1958 in response to growing scientific demand, its origins trace back to researchers at the Institute of Optics, later known as Tsukuba University. Among these pioneers were renowned physicist Yoshio Fujioka and Nobel Prize laureate Shinichiro Tomonaga, who developed one of the first infrared spectrometers of its time, laying the foundation for JASCO’s technological expertise.

The company embodies the Japanese Takumi philosophy, a deep commitment to achieving perfection and durability in every product, regardless of cost. This pursuit of excellence is evident in every stage of product development, ensuring unmatched precision and reliability in molecular spectroscopy and chromatography.

JASCO offers a comprehensive range of molecular spectroscopy solutions, including circular dichroism, fluorescence, Raman, ellipsometry, and near-field microscopy. Leveraging its expertise in optics, the company has also made significant advancements in chromatography, pioneering supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) systems as early as 1985 and launching one of the first ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems in 2005. Today, JASCO continues to innovate, providing cutting-edge analytical and preparative solutions tailored to the needs of laboratories worldwide.
