島津ダイアグノスティクス Company Profile

Starting from November 2023, the "Aseptic Test Reagents for Bacteria preversion" and "Aseptic Test Reagents for Fungi preversion," which have been under trial sales, will be renamed to "Bacterial Gene Detection Kit BactFinder" and "Fungal Gene Detection Kit FungiFinder." They will be launched as part of the Finder series of safety test reagents, following Myco Finder and VirFinder. These kits offer high sensitivity with a detection limit of 100 CFU/sample, rapid results within 4 hours after sample submission, extensive coverage of pharmacopoeia-listed bacteria, environmental bacteria, and human-derived bacteria, and high specificity with no cross-reactivity with the human genome. Additionally, they are unique reagents that feature two protocols: a "rapid testing system" that allows for determination on the day of testing, and a "high-sensitivity system" that enables detection below 10 CFU/sample.

We have made the archive of the seminar below, which received positive feedback, available for viewing. *After completing the survey, the URL for viewing the archive and materials will be displayed.* Theme: Introduction of Rapid Sterility Test Reagents Using NAT for New Products Date: October 25, 2023 (Wednesday) Instructor: Shimadzu Diagnostics Co., Ltd. Product Development Department Content: In regenerative medicine and medical applications using cells, safety tests such as mycoplasma detection tests and sterility tests are essential. Our company has already commercialized NAT reagents, Myco Finder, and VirFinder for mycoplasma and virus detection tests, and we are now launching NAT reagents for sterility tests (bacteria and fungi) under the name Preversion. In this online seminar, the product developers will clearly introduce the new product and the ongoing development of a protocol for efficiently detecting bacteria. *About Preversion: This is a trial sale where we ask customers for their feedback on reagent performance and measurement items to improve the product further.*
