Jasco Corporation was founded in 1958 to provide the scientific community with optical spectroscopy products. Over the years the Jasco product line has grown to cover instruments used, not only in research but also for routine analysis applications in areas such as quality control, environmental analysis, and process control. The current spectroscopy product line encompasses instrumentation for the following methods: UV/Visible and NIR Fluorescence FT-IR and FT-Raman Dispersive Raman Portable Raman Polarimeters Fully Automated Dissolution Tester JASCO is also the world leader in the field of Circular Dichroism Spectropolarimeters With the introduction of HPLC in the mid-1970's Jasco's experience in highly sensitive and accurate optical systems led to the development of a series of chromatographic detection systems. Fixed and variable wavelength UV/Visible and Fluorescence detectors were introduced featuring excellent sensitivity and reliability in compact modules. In order to offer complete HPLC systems JASCO developed a variety of novel solvent delivery systems as well as other accessories such as column ovens, autosamplers, and PC based control and analysis software.
