Approximately 20% of all Nobel Prizes inphysics, chemistry, or physiology or medicine
have been awarded to inventors of analyticaltheories or developers of analytical instrumentsor technologies. This fact proves that analyticaltechnology has supported major innovation

In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan not only saw
the drastic development of many industries,
but was also host to some serious cases ofenvironmental pollution. Against this backdrop,
analytical instruments have significantly
developed through the process of satisfying
the needs of the time.

Since the 1980s, the widespread use of
personal computers has made analytical
instruments easier to use and capable ofmanaging sophisticated data. Since around
1985, analytical instruments have excelled in
activities to improve the quality of materials invarious fields.

From the late 1990s, the demand for analyticaltechniques began increasing in the pharmaceutical andmedical industry. Since the 2000s, analytical instruments
have been playing a role in more and more industries.
They have played a significant role in food safety analysis,
which is deeply related to everyone’ s daily life, along withplaying a role in the development of new materials.

The term is defined as “appliances, tools, or devices
that qualitatively and/or quantitatively measure thecomposition, properties, structure, status, etc., ofsubstances.” Analytical instruments are classified byapplication, such as for laboratory (experimentand research), the environment (pollution), process
and field measurement, maintenance and work
environments, medical examination devices,automation-related devices and information
processing systems, and bio-related analytical
instruments, plus others.

JAIMA’s Activities
With an aim toward helping develop the Japanese economy and the further sophistication of industry in Japan, JAIMA
focuses on activities that promote the development of analytical instruments and technologies.
As a representative of the analytical instrument industry, we negotiate and strengthen relationships with both government
authorities and foreign organizations. In addition, we hold exhibitions to revitalize the entire market of analyticalinstruments.
JAIMA also promotes the development of new markets through international exchange and surveys on leading-edge
research trends, and contributes to the advancement of next-generation science and technology.

For the Development of the Analytical Instruments Industry
Not only as a representative of the analytical instruments industry, but also as a supporter of related industries,
JAIMA conducts a variety of programs to revitalize the market, develop new sectors and fields,and contribute to the progress of science and technology.
●JASIS −Most Advanced Exhibition for Scientific/Analytical Systems & Solutions
The Analytical Instruments Exhibition and the Scientific Instruments Show have been
jointly held since 2010; and since 2012, the two expos have been unified into the Japan
Analytical & Scientific Instruments Show (JASIS).
The slogan of JASIS is "Analysis, Measurement, Observation: Technologies for ourfuture".

●Activities and support for standardization, including
making drafts for JIS (general) relating to analysis
methods and dispatching members to bodies that makedrafts for JIS and ISO/IEC standards
We make efforts to disseminate proper terms as related to theanalytical instruments essential to research and development andquality management in various fields, and to reflect them in nationaland international standards.

●Joint activities and exchange with Western and Asian
friendship associations, and with the organizers of
foreign exhibitions for international activities
By working and holding exchange with related foreign organizations,
we introduce JAIMA’s activities, and extract, sort, and takemeasures against problems in an effort to achieve the revitalizationand overseas expansion of the domestic industry and thus to aim for future development.
