Webinar Announcement: Automating RNA-seq Library Prep: From Rare Cells scRNA-seq to High-Throughput Bulk RNA-seq

For automating NGS library preparation and PCR workflows! Compatible with various applications.

With the powerful specifications of our firefly, we have added the functions of a thermal cycler and additional deck space, achieving full walk-away capability. It is equipped with different dispensing heads: - Multi-channel dispensing head (apricot-head) compatible with 96ch / 384ch / 8-channel / 16-channel chips, supporting operations such as sample transfer, mixing, and supernatant removal. - Independent non-contact dispensing head (dragonfly-head): Utilizing a positive displacement method, this non-contact dispensing is specialized for reagent dispensing and can handle high viscosity and high-density liquids. - Download ready-to-use protocols from the cloud. Protocols created in collaboration with reagent manufacturers and confirmed for operation are updated sequentially, allowing experiments to proceed with confidence. - Intuitive software that requires no special PC knowledge, designed to be user-friendly. - The firefly + is compact (W 1080 x D 560 x H 800 mm). - Equipped with a thermal cycler. - The storage shelf includes additional deck space (large 15 spaces, small 9 spaces), accommodating even higher throughput.

NGS library preparation and PCR/qPCR workflow, active in various scenes!

◆ Equipped with different dispensing heads 　・384 channel dispensing head, Auto feed Loas function 　・Independent 3 or 6 channel non-contact dispensing head In NGS library preparation, sample transfer, mixing, and supernatant removal (bead purification) are handled by chip-type dispensing heads, while the addition of various reagents such as buffers and enzymes is managed by non-contact dispensing heads. This enables low dead volume, significant reduction in chip consumption, increased speed, and space-saving (reduction in the number of required chip racks). Additionally, the dragonfly head can dispense from 200nL, allowing for the execution of micro-volume protocols. It also supports screening in general drug discovery. With a compact design (W 660 x D 560 x H 800 mm), it contributes to solving space issues in laboratories. Screening, high throughput. Compatible with high viscosity and high density. For applications such as NGS library preparation, DNA/RNA extraction and purification, etc.

We will be exhibiting at the "P-MEC Japan 2025 Pharmaceutical Ingredients and Equipment Exhibition" held at Tokyo Big Sight. During the event, we will showcase various products. We invite all relevant parties to come and visit us. 【Suppliers】 ・LAUDA

In conversations with engineers in the manufacturing industry, I have increasingly received the following inquiries: - Confusion in interpreting experimental results - Taking time to organize hypotheses regarding the causes of troubles - Uncertainty about how to evaluate the impact of changes in raw materials or processes - Anxiety about the judgment of results from external testing organizations Considering the themes being discussed internally, I thought, "Could there be an opportunity to provide support as a third-party engineer for brainstorming?" Therefore, we have decided to establish a trial "Technical Consultation Opportunity." 【Overview of Technical Consultation】 - Target: Engineers and research and development personnel in the manufacturing industry, etc. - Content: Organizing experimental plans, interpreting results, organizing trouble hypotheses, etc. - Format: Online (approximately 60 minutes) - Cost: Free for the first consultation - Recruitment: Limited to 5 companies *Please note that we will take sufficient care to respect the confidentiality of each company's information and will not disclose anything externally. We hope you can consult with us with confidence. This will be more of a space for open exchange of opinions between researchers and engineers rather than a sales proposal. If you have any themes you are currently considering, please feel free to reach out. If you are interested, please contact us with "Request for Technical Consultation," and we will provide you with further details.

Thank you very much for visiting our booth this time. Thanks to you, we had the opportunity to introduce our products and technologies to many customers, making it a very meaningful time. If you have any questions regarding the exhibition content or if you would like to discuss specific considerations or estimates, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to provide proposals tailored to your needs.

[Speaker] Inclusive Design Designer Yoko Nakao [Key Lecture Content] Products are not selling, differentiation is difficult, and regulations are changing. As product development and facility management reach a significant turning point, inclusive design, which involves engaging people who have previously been excluded from the development process to collaboratively think of solutions, is gaining attention as a method for creating new value. Additionally, practicing inclusive design is expected to enhance not only customer engagement but also employee engagement. In this seminar, based on 20 years of experience leading universal design and inclusive design with diverse characteristics both inside and outside a comprehensive electronics manufacturer, I will specifically explain how to practice inclusive design to create new value. [Lecture Items] 1. Inclusive Design as a New Growth Engine 2. Increasing the Resolution of Diversity 3. Inclusive Design Process 4. Side Effects - Ripple Effects on Talent Development and Recruitment 5. Conclusion 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
