Support timeline

As of April 7, 2026, NEX QC and NEX QC+ analyzers have been officially discontinued. Rigaku will continue to provide support for these instruments for a minimum of seven years. As these systems transition into legacy status, maintaining performance and planning ahead becomes increasingly important. Whether you need immediate support or you are thinking long-term, our team is here to help.
