Detects minute liquid leaks! The sensor itself generates power, so no external power supply is needed.

Power-free liquid detection! Revolutionary Mg-air battery method "Liquid Detection Sensor" The Liquid Detection Sensor is based on Mg-air battery technology and generates power when it comes into contact with water or other liquids. It operates without any external power supply for the sensor part, and notably, it can reliably generate power and detect not only water but also urine and blood. ■ Battery-less Eliminating the need for power supply, which was essential for conventional liquid sensors, enables operation without restrictions on installation locations. ■ High sensitivity detection capability Achieving a high-sensitivity design that can reliably detect even a few drops of liquid. It can detect minor liquid leaks and condensation without missing them. ■ Compact and flexible installation With a slim and small design, it can be easily installed in narrow spaces and gaps in equipment where conventional sensors would be difficult to place. It can be utilized in various locations such as around piping, under floors, and in ceilings. ■ Notification system The detected information is implemented to be notified via email to smartphones or computers. Even in sites requiring constant monitoring, remote situation checks are possible, enabling prompt responses. *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.
