◆Features◆ 1. "Easy" and "Quick" Classification of Contaminants A simple operation that only requires applying a reagent and observing the changes. It allows for easy testing of contaminants without using equipment like FT-IR. Additionally, it can conveniently screen for meat, plant fragments, bones, and wood pieces, which often yield ambiguous results in equipment analysis. 2. Non-toxic and Non-hazardous. Simplified Storage and Management All constituent reagents are pre-prepared and are classified as non-toxic and non-hazardous according to regulations. They can be used immediately after purchase. 3. Support for Technical Challenges in Seminars and Qualification Exams Technically supports contaminant testing, which often relies on the knowledge and experience of the personnel. In addition to practical technical seminars where reagents are used, we also provide tools for in-house training and the Contaminant Inspection Specialist Certification. *In May 2025, a technical seminar for contaminant identification will be held at two locations: Chiba (Kashiwa) and Fukuoka (Hakata)!

This quick turnaround makes it ideal for cases where speed is essential, such as pre-shipment inspections. 2) Safe for beginners and inexperienced users! Simple operation for DNA testing We have minimized the hassle of reagent preparation and equipment operation, allowing for a speedy implementation without much effort. Additionally, we provide comprehensive support for implementation, including training by technical staff and precision management tests. 3) Proven track record as educational materials for student experiments It is used as educational material in university biology, biotechnology, and food-related departments, as well as in classes at Super Science High Schools (SSH). *As educational material, we also offer the "Koshihikari Identification Group (DNA Experiment Kit)," which includes a full package of necessary reagents from DNA extraction to electrophoresis.

The features of the Niigata Prefecture Koshihikari BL Identification Marker Set are as follows: 1) Compatible with Koshihikari Niigata BL No. 13 In addition to the conventional BL No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 11, it is also possible to identify the newly adopted BL No. 13 from Niigata Prefecture starting from the 2016 harvest. 2) Mutual identification of all numbers (6 types) since 2011 By using all three types of markers, mutual identification of each BL number is possible. It can also distinguish between BL No. 2 and No. 11, allowing for precise verification of detailed mixing ratios and the presence of contamination across different harvest years. * Vision Bio Co., Ltd. has received the following licenses for the manufacture of this kit: Patent No. 4756334 (National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Food Research Institute) Patent No. 4072610 (Niigata Prefecture and National Agriculture and Food Research Organization, Food Research Institute)

The Koshihikari Certification Group (DNA Experiment Kit) is a PCR experiment-specific kit developed from the feedback of teachers in charge of student experiments. It includes all the reagents necessary for the entire process from DNA extraction to electrophoresis, in addition to the experimental samples. 1) Safe and secure design It does not use chemical substances that require strict handling precautions, such as organic solvents like phenol or highly mutagenic substances (e.g., ethidium bromide). 2) PCR experiments with familiar foods Using "rice," the most familiar ingredient, as the sample makes this kit easier to handle in terms of psychological aspects and privacy compared to experiments involving human genes or genetically modified genes. 3) Entire process can be completed in 2 hours The adoption of simple extraction reagents and high-speed PCR reagents enables efficient experiment management.

This is a set of reagents for determining whether stains resembling blood on packages or products are actually blood. It employs the "Leucomalachite Green method," which is used by forensic laboratories for visible stains. This method has fewer false positives than the luminol reaction and is a reliable method used in forensic applications. Regarding the luminol reaction: Trusted testing institutions, including forensic laboratories, do not confirm the luminol reaction for visible blood stains. This is because the "luminol reaction" is intended to infer the location of blood stains that have become invisible due to cleaning or other treatments. Performing a luminol reaction on stains or marks that are already suspected to be blood can hinder formal forensic testing and increase the risk of not achieving accurate results. ◆ If determined to be blood... We also accept the following tests by contract: - Is it of human origin? → Human blood identification test - What animal (including humans) is it from? → DNA identification test - In the case of humans, what is the gender? What is the blood type? → Gender DNA typing, ABO blood type DNA test

This document is an introductory material summarizing the basic knowledge of foreign matter inspection that leads to problem-solving. For many manufacturers, the occurrence of foreign matter contamination is not only a problem that can diminish the value of their products but also one that could lead to a loss of trust in the company. Therefore, it is essential to implement measures on a daily basis to prevent the occurrence of foreign matter. Our company offers products and services related to foreign matter contamination measures, such as contract testing and foreign matter inspection kits, for those in charge who are troubled by foreign matter contamination. [Contents] ■ The environment surrounding foreign matter contamination ■ How to proceed with foreign matter inspection leading to problem-solving ■ Methods of foreign matter inspection ■ Services related to foreign matter contamination measures *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

◆Concerns Regarding Foreign Matter Contamination Troubles◆ - Even if the cause of contamination is known empirically, everything is outsourced because evidence cannot be provided. - Since it occurs irregularly, the impact and burden on regular operations are significant. - It takes time to choose the appropriate outsourcing partner (inspection contractor). Various costs incurred during the process of dealing with foreign matter contamination troubles. By quickly conducting initial responses (simple inspections) in-house, it can lead to reductions in costs and effort. ◆Features of the Foreign Matter Identification Kit (Color Reaction Reagent Set)◆ 1. "Easily" and "quickly" classify foreign matter. Simple operation by applying the reagent and observing changes. Simple inspections of foreign matter can be conducted without the need for equipment like FT-IR. Additionally, meat, plant fragments, bones, and wood chips, which often yield ambiguous results in equipment analysis, can be screened easily. 2. Non-toxic and non-hazardous substances. Simplification of storage and management. All constituent reagents are pre-prepared and are classified as non-toxic and non-hazardous according to regulations. They can also be used immediately after purchase. 3. Support for technical challenges through e-learning and certification exams. In addition to practical e-learning programs that use the reagents and the foreign matter inspection specialist certification, training tools for in-house training are also provided.

This is a DNA testing PCR kit for distinguishing between five types of livestock meat: beef, pork, chicken, horse, and sheep. It is well-received for being easier to handle from a psychological and privacy standpoint compared to experiments using human genes or recombinant genes, as it allows experiments using familiar ingredients such as minced meat, hamburgers, and croquettes. ◆ Enables identification of all types of meat It is widely applicable not only to raw meat but also to minced meat and meat used in processed foods. ◆ Adopts a one-step DNA extraction method for easy meat type identification Our uniquely developed one-step extraction method simplifies DNA extraction from food samples. Additionally, it supports multiplex PCR, allowing for meat type identification by comparing with positive controls for each meat type.
