Interfex Week Tokyo Exhibition & Seminar Held!

Quality assessment of proteins, nucleic acids, AAV, LNP, etc. is possible with trace amounts and high throughput.

"Stunner" is a product that allows simultaneous acquisition of UV/Vis concentration, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and static light scattering (SLS) data from a 2μL identical sample. It enables detailed investigation of AAV and adenoviruses to measure total capsid titer and Empty/Full ratios, as well as to obtain payload concentration and size data of lipid nanoparticles all at once. You can analyze concentration, hydrodynamic size, polydispersity, and the presence of aggregates collectively, allowing you to assess the quality of proteins. This way, you can immediately determine whether your AAV, adenoviruses, lipid nanoparticles, or proteins are suitable for your purposes. [Features] ■ Measure up to 96 samples in a batch in 60 minutes*/12 minutes** *When measured by DLS **When measured by UV/Vis only [Applications] ■ AAV/Adenovirus capsid titer ■ AAV/Adenovirus Empty/Full ratio ■ Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) payload amount ■ Aggregate measurement ■ Concentration measurement ■ Sizing & polydispersity ■ B22 & kD *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Up to 8 samples can be processed simultaneously! Automatic and hassle-free buffer exchange and concentration that used to be complicated!

Buffer exchange and concentration must be performed as a sample preprocessing step. This is a labor-intensive task that takes a long time, requiring your presence throughout the process. "UNAGI" is a fully hands-free benchtop buffer exchange solution designed to take over this tedious task. It can process up to 8 samples simultaneously. The software is very easy to operate, allowing you to be anywhere during the work, eliminating the need to stay in the laboratory the entire time. 【Features】 ■ Simultaneous processing of up to 8 samples ■ Efficient solvent removal prevents sample adsorption, achieving over 96% recovery rate ■ Built-in recipes for UF/DF buffer exchange ■ User-friendly software ■ Concentrates up to 8 diluted samples from 48mL to 8mL in one go *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Dramatically simplified production and condition examination of lipid nanoparticles.

"Nunchuck" is a platform that combines two essential steps needed to create perfectly sized lipid nanoparticles (LNPs): total flow rate (TFR) screening and LNP formulation. In just 10 minutes, you can quickly find suitable conditions through 8-stage total flow rate screening, and then immediately proceed to produce LNPs ranging from 0.25 mL to 1 L. The software is very easy to use, allowing you to start production right away. Additionally, the physical property evaluation of the produced LNPs can be done conveniently and quickly with our Stunner. *For more details, please refer to the LNP application note available via the "PDF Download" button below. Stop the repetitive workflow that measures only one flow rate at a time, and try our LNP production method that completes everything in one go. 【Features】 - Production of LNPs sized 50 to 200 nm - 8-stage TFR screening in 10 minutes - Proven results from 0.25 mL to 1 L - Executed with a dedicated cartridge - Easy to use *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

It enables the monitoring of potency and purity throughout the entire workflow of lentivirus research and development, accelerating gene therapy development.

"Leprechaun" is a system that analyzes whether lentivirus particles are of the correct size and structure, and can measure viral titer. It allows for the determination of the titer of lentivirus present in a sample without being misled by confusing noise (such as incomplete viruses or contamination). Not only can it measure information that was previously only obtainable separately through conventional methods like ELISA, qPCR, and transduction assays, but it also enables structural analysis that those methods could not provide, all on a single platform. Capabilities: ■ Lentivirus titer ■ Lentivirus structure ■ Exosome concentration ■ Analysis of contamination (impurities such as extracellular vesicles) Features: ■ No sample purification required ■ Physical structural analysis possible ■ Distinction between virus integrity and impurities ■ Up to 16 samples can be measured at once *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Cancer Biomarker Discovery 2026 is an online seminar focused on the latest biomarker discovery and analysis technologies in the field of cancer research. Advanced technologies that support the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment research of cancer, such as liquid biopsy, proteomics, and spatial omics analysis, will be introduced. This seminar primarily targets basic and clinical researchers involved in cancer research, as well as those interested in biomarker discovery and analysis. In our section, we will introduce the latest techniques in fluorescent imaging for spatial biology and spatial proteomics research, centered around the Invitrogen EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System. Unlike traditional microscopy, which is limited in multiplex immunostaining, our spectral unmixing technology enables simultaneous imaging of up to 9 colors, allowing for rapid data acquisition with minimized sample damage. Additionally, we will explain a practical workflow using direct conjugate antibodies and TSA-based Invitrogen Aluora amplification reagents, proposing high-reproducibility analysis methods that leverage spatial information. For research use only. Not for diagnostic use.

In spatial biology/spatial proteomics research, the coexistence of "high-quality multiplex fluorescence image acquisition" and "reliable quantitative analysis" is becoming increasingly important. This webinar, co-hosted by Thermo Fisher Scientific and Indica Labs, will introduce a practical workflow that allows for a comprehensive understanding from imaging to analysis. Recommended for: - Those interested in spatial biology/spatial proteomics research who want to systematically understand the entire process from imaging to analysis. - Those who are already conducting or considering the implementation of multiplex imaging (multiplex immunostaining). - Those who feel limited by traditional four-color fluorescence observation and wish to engage in higher-dimensional spatial information analysis. This is a free seminar, so please join us. *For research use only. Not for diagnostic use.
