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.

A response to foreign matter contamination requires both speed and accuracy. However, there are no official methods or public qualifications for conducting inspections, and the quality often depends on the skills and experience of the personnel involved. This seminar has received positive feedback from those in charge of foreign matter complaints, as well as those involved in quality control, quality assurance, and inspection practices. 【Features】 - A practical seminar focused on hands-on experience where participants can learn the fundamental knowledge of simple foreign matter inspections. This seminar allows participants to experience color reactions and biochemical tests using actual reagents. Through practical exercises, participants will learn the key points and how to identify issues during inspections. - Includes a reagent set that can be used in practical work! The foreign matter identification kit provides one product kit (containing six types of reagents, each sufficient for 25 uses, with a list price of 30,000 yen excluding tax)! Any leftover reagents can be utilized directly in practical work. 【Recommended for】 - As part of training for new or junior employees in the quality control department - Those responsible for foreign matter inspections who want to hear from experts to improve their skills - Companies looking to establish their own foreign matter inspection systems - Those already using the foreign matter identification kit who want to train their personnel - Individuals who cannot attend venue-based seminars due to distance

◆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)!

【Features of Inspection】 ◆ Corresponds to allergen labeling of 27 items in Japan In addition to testing for the 8 specific ingredients, we can also test for 19 items such as "orange," "matsutake," and "gelatin (pork-derived)" that are similar to specific ingredients. ◆ Enhanced inspection system tailored to customer requests We offer a variety of courses, from express testing (2 business days) to more cost-effective options that handle multiple samples (8-10 business days). In case of emergencies, we support quality management in terms of both "speed" and "price" for daily inspections. ◆ "Selectable DNA extraction methods" made possible by Vision Bio's DNA testing In the "PCR method" for detecting DNA, the presence of substances that inhibit testing in samples can affect whether "valid results can be obtained." We allow for the selection of extraction methods based on the type of sample and purpose, ranging from methods compliant with the notification from the Deputy Director of the Consumer Affairs Agency to our original methods that enhance DNA purification while keeping costs down. *For details, please request a catalog or view the PDF data available for download.

The features of Vision Bio's recombinant gene testing (ISO compliant) are as follows: ◆ Utilization of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited testing is available We will issue a certificate with an accreditation symbol indicating that this test falls within the scope of ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. This ensures the effectiveness of international One Stop Testing, making the test results from accredited laboratories internationally valid, transcending differences in countries and systems. ~What is ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?~ It is an international standard that specifies general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. To obtain this standard, it is required not only to have the capability to operate a sound management system but also to demonstrate technical competence and produce valid results. In other words, accredited testing and calibration laboratories are recognized internationally for both their quality management capabilities and technical abilities within the scope of their accreditation.
