If you are involved in or interested in the identification and verification of raw materials for pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, and functional foods, this is a must-listen! Verification of raw material ID in the biopharmaceutical industry using Spatial Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS).

This is a portable Raman spectrometer that reduces the need for sampling and improves the throughput of raw material identification verification without increasing costs.

Vaya, which accommodates a wide range of containers from transparent glass vials to brown paper bags, is a handheld Raman device that enables best-in-class testing through transparent containers and innovative handheld testing through opaque containers, allowing for the rapid transfer of raw materials to production in the shortest time possible. With Vaya, current testing protocols are improved, enabling 100% identification testing instead of small-sample testing. Even if regulatory authorities impose more tests in the future, it can transition to a higher throughput process without adding equipment. The Vaya system combines traditional Raman with its unique Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS), accommodating a wide range of sample/container combinations. Its workflow, specialized for raw material identification testing, allows for high-speed identification fully compliant with regulations, and can be easily deployed and used with minimal training and operator skill.

We will be holding a webinar to introduce the cloud-based electronic lab notebook 'Labstep'. Labstep is a cloud-based electronic lab notebook (ELN) developed by researchers for researchers, originating from the University of Oxford. It supports all research activities, including not only experimental records but also reagent management and the creation of experimental workflows. 1) It has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, allowing anyone to start using it immediately. 2) There are no costs or time required for implementation (as short as one month). 3) It enables quick searching, sharing, and comparison of data records (text, files, chemical structures, gene sequences, charts).

[Speaker] Masayo Hoshina, Ph.D. Executive Officer, Accenture Japan Head of Data & AI Group, Accenture Japan Co-Head, Accenture Innovation Hub Tokyo [Key Lecture Content] The emergence of large language models is subjecting all industries to waves of transformation. Particularly in sales and administrative roles, it has been pointed out that an average of 44% of labor hours could be changed by AI. In this lecture, we will introduce the current state of AI implementation while providing an overview of AI from the past to the future, examining both the growth opportunities and risks presented by AI from multiple perspectives. While AI serves as a catalyst for growth for companies and workers, it is also a disruptor that fundamentally changes the nature of work. As companies stand at a significant crossroads, we will clearly explain the pathway to the total enterprise reinvention (TER) of the entire organization.
