TA Instruments began as the Instrument Products Division of the DuPont Company in 1963. The business separated from DuPont into a stand-alone business in 1990 and was purchased by Waters Corporation in 1996. TA quickly became, and remains, the world leader in thermal analysis, living up to our namesake “TA.” Headquartered in New Castle, DE, TA Instruments is situated within a hub of chemical and scientific companies that are connected to the area’s DuPont legacy.

Over time, TA has acquired other companies and expanded into multiple product areas including rheology, microcalorimetry, thermal conductivity & diffusivity, dilatometry, rubber testing systems, and dynamic mechanical characterization. We have continuously maintained our commitment to providing high reliability and high-performance products to meet the needs of our customers in the evaluation of physical properties.

Waters Corporation is the world’s leading specialty measurement company focused on improving human health and well-being through the application of high-value analytical technologies and industry-leading scientific expertise.

Our decisions and actions are guided by two simple words – Deliver Benefit. Our founder, Jim Waters, coined these words to encapsulate the idea that we should positively impact our customers, employees, shareholders and society at every opportunity.

Driven by that ethos for over sixty years, Waters has continually pioneered chromatography, mass spectrometry and thermal analysis innovations. Whether it’s discovering new pharmaceuticals, assuring the safety of the world’s food and water supplies, or ensuring the integrity of a chemical entity in production, we are constantly working with our thousands of customers to change the world.

With a global workforce of more than 7,000 employees, Waters operates in 35 countries, including 15 manufacturing facilities and with products available in more than 100 countries.
