Introducing the next-generation HPLC that assists users and promotes automation and digital transformation in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, and the environment.

What is the configuration of HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) equipment? A thorough and easy-to-understand explanation of the basics of HPLC! Free basic knowledge materials available!

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a type of liquid chromatography that achieves high separation efficiency by pressurizing the mobile phase liquid and using high-performance columns. It is utilized in various fields of chemical analysis. The HPLC system consists of a pump that delivers the mobile phase, an injector for sample injection, a column that separates the components in the sample, a column thermostat that maintains a constant column temperature, and a detector that identifies the separated components. This document provides a clear summary of the fundamentals of liquid chromatography (LC) separation, detectors, and principles. It is a valuable resource for those who are learning HPLC for the first time, those who wish to review from the basics, and those looking for educational materials for in-house training.

How to choose a detector for HPLC? A thorough explanation based on a comparison table of the main detectors! Free basic knowledge materials available.

Chromatography is a separation technique, and by appropriately combining it with detectors that can detect the separated analytes, quantitative analysis becomes possible. Detectors need to be selected considering applicable compounds, sensitivity, selectivity, and other factors. This document provides a clear summary of the fundamentals of separation in liquid chromatography (LC), detectors, and principles. It is recommended for those who are learning HPLC for the first time, those who want to review from the basics, and those looking for materials useful for in-house training.

What are the characteristics of each separation mode in HPLC? A comprehensive and easy-to-understand explanation of the basics of HPLC! Free basic knowledge materials are currently available.

In chromatography, the differences in the affinity of substances for the stationary phase and the mobile phase are utilized. The separation modes commonly used in HPLC can be broadly classified into adsorption, partition, and size exclusion based on the type of affinity. The main separation modes include "adsorption," "partition," "hydrophilic interaction," "ion exchange," and "size exclusion."

Ichikawa Techno Fabrics Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "New Functional Materials Exhibition 2026" held at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition will bring together many products and technologies essential for manufacturing, from materials to processing and devices. Numerous visitors with specific needs seeking solutions to various challenges will attend. Collaboration proposals among exhibitors, as well as between visitors and exhibitors, will also be active. At our booth, we plan to showcase "industrial felt." We look forward to your visit.

The winners of the 8th "Safety Labeling and Human Development Contest" hosted by Max Corporation have been decided. Along with this award ceremony, we will hold a "Safety Exchange Meeting" where each company will present and share their daily safety activities. 【Agenda (Tentative)】 - Award ceremony for the 8th "Safety Labeling and Human Development Contest" - Report on safety activities (from two winning companies) - Lecture on workplace safety activities - Exchange of information on safety activities and labeling, etc. This is a valuable opportunity to learn about the initiatives and safety labeling of other companies! We encourage your participation.

The Daigaku Art and Design Exhibition is a joint exhibition by university students studying art and engineering from four universities in Japan. In 2025, it will be held in Nagoya. Natek is sponsoring the Daigaku Art and Design Exhibition 2025 to support the activities of students who will be responsible for Japan's future manufacturing. We look forward to your visit.

When we look around us, we see various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment filled with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, was not established just 100 years ago. Therefore, it can be said that in less than a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when dealing with plastic materials, and the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. In this course, we will explain important and fundamental points over two sessions, focusing on the field of resin materials, not only for analytical technicians but also for engineers who create products using plastic materials and those who use plastic products to deepen their understanding. In the first session, which serves as a foundational overview, we will discuss the characteristics of representative plastic materials, including molecular structure and physical properties, characteristics and applications, and manufacturing methods, to aid in the understanding of plastic materials.

When we look around us, we see that various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment are overflowing with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, 100 years ago, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, had not yet been established. Therefore, it can be said that in just under a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when handling plastic materials, but the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. Following the previous foundational edition, this second application edition will explain polymer multiphase materials (such as polymer alloys, compounds, and resin composites) and molding techniques, as well as environmental issues surrounding plastic materials, in order to enhance the practical value of plastic materials.
