Webinar Announcement: Advanced Proteomic Biomarker Discovery for Understanding Disease Pathophysiology

High versatility, high viscosity is also not a problem. Positive displacement non-contact dispenser.

The Dragonfly Discovery is a new non-contact dispenser that employs both positive displacement technology and disposable syringes. With its high versatility and user-friendly software, it can accommodate various assays and research with just one unit. ● Positive Displacement Technology This method uses a piston to push out the liquid. It allows for accurate dispensing of various solutions, such as those with viscosity and surface tension, without the need for class settings for each liquid. Examples: 80% glycerol, 50% EtOH, cell suspensions, etc. ● Supports Various Assays With intuitive dedicated software, you can easily design dispensing for biochemical assays, cell-based assays, bead-based assays, and more. It is also possible to control dispensing time, perform normalization, and dispense in a gradient-like manner. ● No Contamination Using disposable syringes eliminates the risk of carryover and cross-contamination. This dispensing machine has high versatility, suitable for DoE (Design of Experiment), ELISA, three-dimensional cell culture, protein crystallization assays, and more.

• Automatic Dispensing Device

For dispensing applications of several hundred nL!

The "mosquito HTS" is a robust nanoliter-scale dispensing device that employs a positive displacement method. It not only allows for precise aspiration and dispensing but also enables accurate mixing, making it suitable for various applications. By minimizing the sample volume in sample management workflows and genomics research, it contributes to cost reduction. ● Cost reduction through miniaturization and low dead volume With its accurate dispensing mechanism, it handles precious samples and expensive reagents in small volumes while minimizing dead volume, significantly reducing running costs. ● Reduced hands-on time and improved reproducibility through automation With rapid and precise operation, it eliminates dispensing errors and cross-contamination caused by human error, enhancing reproducibility. ● Improved data reliability through increased sample size The benefits of miniaturization extend beyond mere cost savings; it allows for multiple experiments to be conducted in parallel, thereby enhancing data reliability. ● User-friendly The easy-to-use software makes the protocol creation process very simple.

Recently, we held technical training sessions for the MilkoScan FT3 at five locations nationwide. In this training, we provided a wide range of useful information for operating the equipment, including explanations of the principles and structure of the device, how to create measurement products, daily maintenance, and how to respond to issues when they arise. Additionally, this year we introduced new methods for utilizing digital services (such as FossCalibrator and IQX) and also prepared hands-on sessions where participants could experience operating the equipment using a PC. Thank you to everyone who participated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions after the training. ------- At Foss Japan, in addition to training sessions and workshops to ensure you can use our equipment with confidence, we hold many events throughout the year. In seminars and open houses tailored to specific industries and analytical techniques, we showcase Foss's latest analytical solutions. -------

[Lecturers] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Infrastructure Advisory Partner Kenichiro Fukuda Strategy Partner Ken Fujiyama Infrastructure Advisory Director Takashi Matsumura [Key Lecture Content] The water supply and sewage business is facing structural challenges such as facility aging, a shortage of workforce, and a decrease in revenue due to population decline. The government is promoting the introduction of Water PPPs, regional consolidation, and the digital transformation of water supply and sewage systems, marking a significant turning point in the way these businesses are operated. This change is expanding business opportunities for private companies in various areas, including operation and maintenance, pipeline renewal, digital technology, and the utilization of smart meters and data. Additionally, as a means of expanding business domains and enhancing competitiveness, there has been an increase in capital and operational partnerships and M&A between companies, leading to industry restructuring. In this seminar, based on the latest trends in policy and the market, we will introduce business strategies for private companies to enter and expand in the water supply and sewage market, including the use of M&A and capital operational partnerships, drawing on achievements from both public and private support.

[Speaker] Mitsui & Co., Ltd. Research Institute, Technology and Innovation Information Department Senior Project Manager, Zhao Jian [Key Lecture Content] Low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) lithium-ion batteries are expanding their adoption worldwide. To prepare for future mass emissions, promoting their recycling is essential. However, due to the low material value of LFP batteries, ensuring the profitability of recycling operations has become a challenge. In pursuit of profitability, Chinese companies are seeking economies of scale and integrating battery material manufacturing, while in Europe and other regions, there is a focus on developing high-efficiency and high-purity recovery technologies such as direct recycling. This lecture will explain the current status, challenges, latest trends in technology development, and the impact on the battery supply chain regarding LFP battery recycling. [Lecture Items] 1. The necessity of LFP battery recycling 2. The current status of LFP battery recycling 3. Efforts to improve the profitability of LFP battery recycling 4. Impact on the supply chain & summary 5.
