Fluence Analytics, a manufacturer of industrial and laboratory analytics products has announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Nihon Rufuto, a Japanese company specializing in the import and domestic sales of scientific instruments.

Nihon Rufuto will introduce market and distribute ARGEN throughout Japan. ARGEN is a static light scattering instrument that yields realtime measurements on the stability of therapeutic proteins and peptides and the quality of natural and synthetic polymers.

Nihon Rufuto is scheduled to showcase an ARGEN system during InterPhex Japan in Tokyo on June 27-29, 2018.

“We are excited about this new partnership enabling us to expand into another major market,” says Alex Reed, CEO of Fluence Analytics. “Working with Nihon Rufuto gives us access to Japan’s diverse range of advanced industries, including polymers and biopharmaceuticals, where our products will help scientists and engineers save time while developing better, safer products.”
