CHO Cell Culture Optimization: A DOE Approach in the Ambr 15

Selecting the appropriate combination of culture media and feeds for cells, and further optimizing process parameters, is a complex and time-consuming process. Sartorius's extensive portfolio of media and micro-bioreactors that allow for parallel cultivation support optimal and scalable process development for cells. This application note introduces the process optimization of CHO cell culture using Sartorius media, Ambr15, and the experimental design software MODDE.

• Software (middle, driver, security, etc.)
• Culture medium
• Culture Equipment

Single-use culture vessel with a proven design.

▪ Proven scalable design Reduction of time and effort for process development, optimization, and validation ▪ Compatibility with existing bioreactor controllers Making existing bioreactor controllers more user-friendly with single-use culture vessels employing cutting-edge technology ▪ Interchangeable with existing glass containers Facilitating peak usage relief and efficient schedule management ▪ Single-use from container to sensor Enabling more cultures with current equipment

We will be exhibiting jointly with the JGC Group at "SEMICON JAPAN 2025" held at Tokyo Big Sight. <JGC Group Exhibition Overview> Since its founding, the JGC Group has been involved in various fields, including EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) for plants and factories representing oil refining and natural gas, as well as diverse businesses such as the manufacturing of catalysts, inorganic materials, and fine ceramics components. In the semiconductor field, we contribute to the semiconductor industry in multiple ways, focusing on "design and construction of semiconductor-related factories," "components for semiconductor manufacturing equipment," and "materials for semiconductor materials." <JFC Exhibition Overview> In the Japan Fine Ceramics corner, we will introduce products and application examples related to semiconductors. ● Application examples of "metal-ceramic composite materials" for temperature-controlled wafer chucks and cooling jackets ● Thin-walled rib structures "SiC ceramics" for lightweight, high-rigidity stages ● Ceramic substrates and thin-film metallized substrates ● High-performance "silicon nitride substrates" for power semiconductors ● Transparent alumina, low dielectric loss alumina, Li-ion conductors, cells for SOFC/SOEC, pressure sensors for hydrogen environments We look forward to welcoming you at our booth.

Nitto Kohki will exhibit at the "30th Mechanical Components Technology Exhibition [Tokyo]" held at Makuhari Messe Hall 5 from July 9 (Wednesday) to July 11 (Friday). [Booth Number: Hall 5 31-32] At this exhibition, we will showcase a variety of products, including the electric suction hand "e-VEE" with a built-in pump that does not require compressed air, a cordless belt sander, the electric driver "Delvo" that can be mounted on robots, and the "Flow Monitor" that allows for easy visualization of the flow of cooling water in molds and other applications.

Nitto Kohki will hold the "2025 Attack Fair in Meiko" for two days from July 23 (Wednesday) to July 24 (Thursday), 2025, at the "Kowa Seminar Plaza 2F Training Room NO.12 (inside Kowa Sports Land)." The Attack Fair is an exhibition where you can actually "see, touch, and operate" Nitto Kohki's products. Additionally, there will be wonderful souvenirs for attendees and many fun activities planned. We look forward to welcoming everyone!

Nitto Kohki will hold the "2025 Attack Fair in Kurume" at the "Local Production Kurume General Exhibition Hall" for two days from February 13 (Thursday) to February 14 (Friday), 2025. The Attack Fair is an exhibition where you can actually "see, touch, and operate" Nitto Kohki's products. Additionally, there will be wonderful commemorative gifts for visitors and many fun activities prepared. We look forward to welcoming everyone!

[Speaker] EY Strategy and Consulting Co., Ltd. Transaction and Corporate Finance M&A Advisory Director Naoki Saito [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the grid-scale battery business has garnered significant attention from practitioners, particularly in the renewable energy sector. However, it is also true that there are several challenges that remain to be addressed for further investment expansion. In this lecture, we will explain the finance environment, various markets utilized for revenue generation, and the diversifying business schemes that could influence the success or failure of investment expansion. We will also introduce the current challenges related to each theme, the efforts of market participants towards their resolution or improvement, and future outlooks. [Lecture Items] 1. Overview of the business surrounding grid-scale batteries (historical trends, etc.) 2. Diversifying business schemes 3. Current challenges hindering further investment expansion (finance methods, etc.) 4. Various initiatives towards problem-solving 5. Q&A / Business card exchange
