Day 3. Oligonucleotide Edition: The Cutting Edge of Biopharmaceutical Analysis - From Basics to Applications by Modality -

Explanation of the measurement of nitrosamine impurities using the high-resolution "Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF"!

Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. Recently, it has been found that some ARBs contain carcinogenic nitrosamine impurities, resulting in the recall of many products. Consequently, there is a demand for analytical methods capable of detecting these problematic nitrosamine impurities. This application note describes a high-sensitivity and high-resolution LC/MS/MS method using the "Agilent 6546 LC/Q-TOF" for the detection and quantification of six types of nitrosamines specified by the US FDA, as well as a simultaneous detection method for eleven types of nitrosamine impurities.

Reliable detection and quantification of nitrosamines and mutagenic impurities.

Due to the presence of unacceptable levels of mutagenic nitrosamine impurities, several pharmaceuticals have recently been recalled. To accurately detect and quantify trace amounts of mutagenic impurities in pharmaceuticals, Agilent offers relevant GC/MS, LC/MS, and high-throughput MS-based analytical techniques. <Challenges in Nitrosamine Analysis> 1. Introducing mass spectrometers requires meeting regulatory requirements, which can be cumbersome. 2. There are many target substances, making it difficult to choose which method/device to use for GC/MS or LC/MS. 3. Due to the high cost of the equipment, results that justify the expense are expected (in terms of cost, operation, speed from introduction to startup, and decisions on outsourcing). 4. It is challenging to foresee whether the risk assessment can be completed by the deadline. <Solutions for Nitrosamine Analysis> Agilent's application guide provides various validated methods from sample preparation to measurement analysis, enabling quick setup and support from introduction to operation. Additionally, regulatory compliance, including data integrity, is achievable.

About ROAD: The "Roundtable on the Purpose of Autonomous Driving (ROAD)" conference series has evolved into a unique platform for interdis-ciplinary dialogue and international collaboration in the field of autonomous driving and autonomous mobility. Established in 2016, ROAD has brought together researchers, industry leaders, and public sector stakeholders from six countries across three continents. Based on this background, the upcoming ROAD 2026 will focus on "safety” and "driving AI”—the final pieces of the autonomous driving puzzle—to advance discussions on establishing the foundational framework for ensuring safety quality and obtaining regular-tory approval for autonomous driving. We also intend to discuss the international commonalities and differences regarding the social value brought about by ADS vehicles in terms of automation, intelligent driving, and mobility. We have established a total of five compelling themes for the Round Workshops, consisting of two topics related to “The Last Piece” and three topics related to the social value of ADS, as shown below. 1) Round Workshop 1 - Horizons of E2E Driving AI → Can AI Understand the Driving Environment Like Humans? 2) Round Workshop 2 - Beyond the Unknown: Safety Cases for ADS → Can Safety Ever Be Proven? 3) Round Workshop 3 - Envisioning Smart City Mobility → Can Smart City Mobility Bridge the Mobility Divide? 4) Round Workshop 4 - Logistics Enhancement Through Autonomous Tracking → Will Logistics Become Human-Free? 5) Round Workshop 5 - The Evolution of CASE: SDV/AIDV → Will Automakers Become AI Companies? We hope you’ll all join us!

[Speaker] Masashi Sugita, President and CEO of LEX Style Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The power consumption of AI servers used in data centers has significantly increased, making traditional air cooling insufficient for operation. This lecture will organize the requirements for introducing a liquid cooling system into air-cooled data centers and explain the implementation method using free cooling with specific design details. When handling high-density AI servers, energy efficiency is required, and the widely used energy efficiency indicator, as well as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Resource and Energy Agency's PUE regulation of "1.3 or below," will be explained along with practical operational insights.

[Instructor] Yuichiro Kabushiki, Partner Lawyer at TMI Comprehensive Law Office [Key Lecture Content] With the spread of AI, there is growing attention on the civil liability of developers, providers, and users of AI. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will publish "Guidelines on the Interpretation and Application of Civil Liability in AI Utilization" in April 2026, and the Ministry of Justice will also establish an expert meeting to examine civil liability related to unauthorized use of images and voices generated by AI in the same month. As the full enforcement of the AI Promotion Act and the revision of AI guidelines are underway, it is necessary to design and operate governance based on the potential responsibilities that may arise retrospectively. In this seminar, based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and drawing on litigation practice experience as a judge and lawyer, we will organize the basic framework for assessing civil liability and explain fundamental methods for designing and operating governance based on risk analysis. Furthermore, we will examine the framework for civil liability and the design and operation of governance using hypothetical cases that are likely to pose practical issues.

In this seminar, we will welcome Mr. Satoru Hayami from Waseda University, who will explain the latest trends in AI utilization in manufacturing, as well as the evolution of technologies such as agent-based AI and physical AI, and the opportunities and key points for practical application in the manufacturing industry. Furthermore, Mr. Tsubasa Shibata, representative of Next Opt, will introduce processes aimed at practical implementation, incorporating actual case studies from manufacturing sites. We hope you will envision the "potential for AI utilization in your company" and take home hints that will lead to improvements in your operations starting tomorrow. We look forward to your participation.
