Our History

1970s
In the late 1970s, under the leadership of the late academician Lu Peizhang, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences launched research on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) instruments and columns. One of the relevant achievements, the HPLC instrument, was manufactured at the Instrument Factory of DICP. Another scientific and technological achievement, the chromatographic packing material, was transferred by the team led by Academician Zhang Yukui to two designated manufacturers for production: Qingdao Ocean Chemical Plant and Tianjin No.2 Reagent Factory, a national designated factory for chromatographic reagents. This laid the groundwork for the birth of China''s domestic HPLC instruments and columns, and sowed the seed for the subsequent establishment of Elite.
1993
In 1993, Dr. Li Tong, a student of Professor Zhang Yukui and now Chairman of Elite, began developing and commercializing chromatography products. That same year, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and US International Elite Enterprise Group co-founded Dalian Elite Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd., which later became a DICP wholly-owned company. With upgraded products and management, it grew into a modern high-tech enterprise, making Elite a leading brand in China’s liquid chromatography industry.
