JOKOH

JOKOH is a Japanese medical device and in vitro diagnostics company that develops, manufactures, and sells clinical laboratory instruments, diagnostic kits, and related software. Its healthcare portfolio includes electrolyte analyzers, ESR analyzers, tissue processors, FISH probe kits, and cytology-related products, and the company sells through distributors in more than 40 countries. In addition to healthcare, JOKOH also manufactures ultrahigh-pressure homogenizers and dispersion systems used in nanomaterials, batteries, and other industrial applications. The company was founded in 1947 and has longstanding relationships with hospitals, commercial laboratories, and research institutions in Japan. It appears to be an active private company rather than a drug-development biotech, with revenue generated primarily from commercial products and equipment sales.
