We’ve been developing, manufacturing, and providing thermal analyzers since commercializing the first calorimeter in 1974. Having worked for almost 50 years in close collaboration with customers to develop solutions to solve their thermal analysis needs, we’re proud to provide an extensive line up of thermal analysis instruments including DSC, STA, TMA and DMA.
Bringing our extensive expertise to benefit your needs, here’s our top five reasons why you should consider Hitachi thermal analyzer:
We’re not a newcomer to the market. Our total installations exceed 20,000 units globally, and we’re known as the best-selling thermal analysis manufacturer* in Japan in 2021. We love working with our customers, listening to their needs, proposing new value and contributing to make our customers businesses grow. Here’s just some of the feedback we’ve received:

As a member of Hitachi Group, we’ve established and implemented quality standards and product safety design standards which reflect our safety know-how also used by the likes of Hitachi Rail. We also make sure we comply with domestic and overseas laws and regulations to provide customers with high quality and safe products.
All our manufacturing process such as design, manufacturing, inspection, and shipping are performed at our Fuji Oyama plant in Japan. What’s more, our Fuji Oyama plant has achieved substantial carbon neutrality by using electricity being generated from renewable energy since March 2021.
By having all our manufacturing under one roof, we’re able to respond to customer requests easily. With our thermal analysis instruments made in Japan and cleared by Hitachi’s strict quality standard, you get results you can trust even in a development environment. Our robust, sturdy analyzers deliver the reliability you need to keep up and running.
We’ve developed and launched ‘the world’s first’ thermal analysis products like a microcomputer DSC, horizontal differential balance TG/DTA and Real View® camera STA.
In 1970s, the SSC560 series was launched as ‘the world’s first’ DSC with computer technology and dramatically improved operability. Also, when vertical TGA was the mainstream, we developed a more stable horizontal differential balance TG/DTA and it’s now widely used in the world. In 2010s, we were the first manufacture in the world to develop a sample observation RealView® STA that allows to see what is happening during measurement.
Our Real View® camera really sets us apart and makes us unique. Integrating seamlessly with our DSC, STA and DMA today to observe changes in the sample status during analysis in real-time. Images reveal changes in sample shape, size, color, and other properties. The images can be recorded and are automatically linked to the thermal data by timestamp. You can also integrate Real View® with the auto sampler to monitor changes to your samples while automatically analyzing several samples at once.
Also, our software, with ease-of-use interface and a guidance function enables measurement in accordance with standards such as ISO and ASTM. All our software is included as standard on our instruments, and comes with unlimited licenses so that you don’t have to complete the analysis next to your instrument, this can be done anywhere on your personal laptop.
We continue to work with our customers to innovate, ensuring our customer’s voice is embedded in our manufacturing process and high technological capabilities that achieve world-class sensitivity and baseline stability.
We have more than 20 applications labs globally including Tokyo (Japan), Osaka (Japan), Shanghai (China), Abingdon (UK), Kalkar (Germany), Mumbai (India), and Dallas (USA). Our labs are equipped with thermal analysis instruments with our experts carrying out hundreds of measurements and demonstration each year for customers.
Our experienced application engineers also handle a wide range of inquiries and consultations from customers such as measurement conditions, data interpretation and measurement techniques. Our teams are also equipped to deliver online demonstrations so it doesn’t matter if you can’t come to us, we can come to you and equally demo using your samples if they are sent to us in advance.
