Tarlin International Releases "Palm-sized Analysis Lab" Capsule Toys, Miniaturizing 6 Shimadzu Analytical and Measuring Instruments

Tarlin International Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Naoshi Sato; hereinafter "Tarlin"), under the supervision of Shimadzu Corporation (Headquarters: Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto; Representative Director and President: Yasunori Yamamoto), will sequentially release "Shimadzu Palm-sized Analysis Lab" capsule toys, miniaturizing analytical and measuring instruments to 1/20th scale, starting May 15th at capsule toy vending machine corners nationwide.

Analytical and measuring instruments are devices primarily used to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze trace components in pharmaceuticals, food products, environmental water, etc. They are used in research and development and quality control at universities and companies, and opportunities for consumers to see them are limited. The capsule toys to be released this time are designed to make analytical and measuring instruments, which are unsung heroes protecting people's safety and security, feel more familiar by allowing many people to see them.
