島津ダイアグノスティクス Company Overview

"New Approach to Accelerate Sterility Testing: Introduction of BactFinder / FungiFinder Evaluation Data" Recommended for: - Those who conduct sterility tests in their daily operations - Those interested in rapid sterility testing - Those curious about highly sensitive detection methods for sterility testing In the fields of regenerative medicine and cell therapy, rapid sterility testing is required to enhance patient safety. The sterility testing reagent "BactFinder/FungiFinder," based on nucleic acid amplification methods, covers a wide range of microorganisms, including not only pharmacopoeial bacteria but also environmental and human-derived bacteria, allowing for detection in a short time. This seminar will include explanations of the data related to sterility testing reagents, along with detailed descriptions of high-sensitivity testing systems. We understand you may be busy, but we hope you can join us. Instructor: Shimadzu Diagnostics Co., Ltd.

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.
