Asking Tomomasu Drink Company about KEM’s products.
KEM: Could you tell us what led you to choose KEM products?
Tomomasu: Working in quality assurance, high precision analysis is everything and after considering a host of options we chose to go with KEM as your products really caught our attention.
Our most recent purchase was of your Gas Volume Analyzer because it allowed us to finally realize a gas analysis system that ensured high measurement consistency between users whether beginner or pro, something that was difficult with manual measurement.
Our lab is full of different KEM analyzers because they all achieve great results for us!
KEM: What advantages has the adoption of KEM instruments given to your lab?
Tomomasu: They have made highly accurate analysis easy to achieve for users of all experience levels. Additionally, instrument calibration and maintenace has become easy and convenient.
KEM: How has our after-sales support been?
Tomomasu: There have been zero issues, allowing us to perform our work with peace of mind.
KEM: Glad to hear it! We look forward to supporting you into the future.
