Please check the Japanese version catalog for a significant increase in operability and stirring power!

A high-speed, flexible, and intelligent single-use mixer that accommodates all stirring processes in cGMP-compliant bioprocessing. In mixing processes within the bioprocess environment, quality and efficiency are critically important, and the choice of mixing equipment has a dramatic impact on both. A high-speed, flexible single-use mixer enhances manufacturers' competitiveness and improves productivity.

A fast, accurate, reliable, and safe system.

The Takeone sterile sampling device is a key component of an effective microbial control program. Samples collected using Takeone are used to measure purity attributes such as bioburden, sterility, and endotoxin concentration, as well as important process parameters like metabolites, nutrients, osmotic pressure, and pH. ▪ Independent sterile sampling in a closed system ▪ Accurate sampling ▪ Pre-assembled and ready to use ▪ On-demand sample collection ▪ Ergonomically designed for ease of use by operators ▪ Completely single-use, disposable type

A particulate reduction program that comprehensively addresses particulate matter risks with the aim of advancing discussions based on objective data rather than subjective risks.

Single-use systems (SUS) are increasingly being used in final filling, vaccine manufacturing, cell therapy, and gene therapy. Regulatory requirements regarding particulate matter are clear for final pharmaceuticals, but they are not clear for SUS used in the upstream processes of final pharmaceuticals. In 2016, Sartorius launched a particle reduction program to reduce uncertainty and minimize the risk of particulate matter contained in SUS being introduced into final pharmaceuticals. As a result of this initiative, the levels of particulate matter in SUS have visibly decreased.

Achieve both efficiency improvement and cost reduction. A free testing service that identifies the optimal type and size of filter for the chemicals used.

This is a free small-scale test to select the optimal types and sizes of final filters and pre-filters for the "filtration" that the customer will implement. The test will be conducted by experienced application specialists in accordance with the customer's filtration process conditions. Tests based on rich experience ensure reliability and guarantee the credibility of the data. Filtration characteristic tests offer various benefits to customers, such as improved workability and cost reduction. Customers with the following needs are encouraged to consider this test: ■ Selection of the optimal filter for chemical solutions ■ Downsizing of filters ■ Functional evaluation of various filter membranes ■ Extension of filter life ■ Increased flow rate ■ Improved product recovery rate

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. [Lecture Items] 1. Heat dissipation methods for high-density, high-heat AI servers 2. Basics and importance of PUE/pPUE 3. PUE regulation of "1.3 or below" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Resource and Energy Agency 4. AI server implementation and requirements for new data centers 5. Summary and future outlook 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[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.
