Research Support Expanding Education and Research By Serving as a Center for the Latest Instrumental Analysis Information Operation and maintenance of equipment, trouble-shooting, safety management, operation log management, usage scheduling, responding to user needs, conducting user workshops/instruction and manual creation are all carried out by our own dedicated engineering officials and technical assistants. Multiple assistants（young instructors from all departments）are assigned to each machine in order to provide technical assistance in the form of instructing workshops, conducting user meetings, serving as a liaison between users and manufacturers, etc. so that each machine performs measurements in the best possible condition. Today's significant scientific and technological advancements have come from the merging of methodologies and thought processes from different academic fields. The Center's Division of Instrumental Analysis provides interaction between researchers of different fields, playing a central role in the exchange of the latest instrumental analysis information. 2003.4.1
