In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in interest in lab automation in the fields of research and development, quality control, and analytical work, driven by the need to address workforce shortages, increased workload, improve data quality, and enhance productivity. On the other hand, there are not a few cases where organizations face challenges such as the failure to establish operations after introducing automated systems, dependency on specific personnel, lack of alignment with existing operations, and not achieving the expected ROI. In this webinar, we will explain the necessary mindset and preparations for successfully implementing lab automation from the perspective of "Automation Ready." We will also organize common challenges and failure patterns observed during automation implementation, and, using actual case studies, introduce how to advance business visualization, standardization, and operational design. This content will be useful not only for those considering lab automation but also for those who have already started the implementation but are facing challenges. 【Recommended for the following individuals】 - Those considering lab automation - Those looking to improve the efficiency of research/analytical work

In the analysis of trace components such as pharmaceuticals, veterinary drugs, and additives contained in biological samples, solid-phase extraction (SPE) is essential for sample preparation. To achieve high-sensitivity and robust analysis, it is important to establish optimal SPE methods; however, method development and condition optimization require significant time and experience, and there is a strong demand for efficiency given the limited development resources. In this webinar, we will introduce specific approaches for constructing optimal solid-phase extraction methods in a short time, as well as strategies for speeding up development using the Andrew+ dispensing system, illustrated with real examples. The content will also be useful for those who are not considering the introduction of a dispensing machine, providing insights into the concepts of solid-phase extraction method development and efficiency improvements. ■ Program - Efficient solid-phase extraction method development - Easy automation of solid-phase extraction tasks ■ Recommended for - Those involved in bioanalysis in the pharmaceutical and food sectors - Those interested in improving the efficiency of solid-phase extraction

In April 2026, the announcement of the nineteenth revision of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia is scheduled. This revision is expected to apply the general testing method "＜2.00＞ General Principles of Chromatography" for the first time to two items: "Dapagliflozin Propylene Glycol Hydrate" and "Dapagliflozin Propylene Glycol Tablets," which will be newly included. Therefore, in this webinar, we will first review the overview of "＜2.00＞ General Principles of Chromatography." Based on that, we will explain the points for accelerating analysis methods utilizing the "changes in particle size and column length of the analytical column" permitted by this testing method, along with practical examples. Additionally, using the testing method for "Dapagliflozin Propylene Glycol Hydrate" as an example, we will also introduce countermeasures for items that may affect test results.
