January 30, 2026 ◆ Nonlinear Robust Design (General Robust Informatics) Seminar

From February 11 (Wednesday) to February 13 (Friday), Mikasa Trading Co., Ltd. will sponsor the technology conference "JANOG57 Meeting in Osaka" held at the Congre Convention Center. This event provides an open platform for field engineers to freely discuss and share the latest network technologies, practical operational know-how, and case studies of failures. This time, we will be exhibiting a booth in collaboration with Western Digital Marketing LLC, showcasing innovative storage solutions such as the "Ultrastar Data60" and HDDs with a maximum capacity of 30TB. The Ultrastar Data60 is recognized for its ability to efficiently accommodate up to 60 high-quality HDDs while achieving large capacity, low cost, and space-saving design. Additionally, we will display mobile label printers made by Brady Japan at our booth. You will have the opportunity to see products that are actively used in infrastructure development and data management up close. Don't miss this chance to experience the technologies that support the future! We look forward to seeing you at the venue.

Cancer Biomarker Discovery 2026 is an online seminar focused on the latest biomarker discovery and analysis technologies in the field of cancer research. Advanced technologies that support the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment research of cancer, such as liquid biopsy, proteomics, and spatial omics analysis, will be introduced. This seminar primarily targets basic and clinical researchers involved in cancer research, as well as those interested in biomarker discovery and analysis. In our section, we will introduce the latest techniques in fluorescent imaging for spatial biology and spatial proteomics research, centered around the Invitrogen EVOS S1000 Spatial Imaging System. Unlike traditional microscopy, which is limited in multiplex immunostaining, our spectral unmixing technology enables simultaneous imaging of up to 9 colors, allowing for rapid data acquisition with minimized sample damage. Additionally, we will explain a practical workflow using direct conjugate antibodies and TSA-based Invitrogen Aluora amplification reagents, proposing high-reproducibility analysis methods that leverage spatial information. For research use only. Not for diagnostic use.

In spatial biology/spatial proteomics research, the coexistence of "high-quality multiplex fluorescence image acquisition" and "reliable quantitative analysis" is becoming increasingly important. This webinar, co-hosted by Thermo Fisher Scientific and Indica Labs, will introduce a practical workflow that allows for a comprehensive understanding from imaging to analysis. Recommended for: - Those interested in spatial biology/spatial proteomics research who want to systematically understand the entire process from imaging to analysis. - Those who are already conducting or considering the implementation of multiplex imaging (multiplex immunostaining). - Those who feel limited by traditional four-color fluorescence observation and wish to engage in higher-dimensional spatial information analysis. This is a free seminar, so please join us. *For research use only. Not for diagnostic use.

[Instructor] Professor at Waseda University Graduate School of Political Science and Economics / Director of the Institute for Environmental Economic Management Visiting Researcher at Sciences Po Paris Faculty Fellow at the National Institute of Economic and Industrial Research Mr. Toshihide Arimura [Key Lecture Content] Starting in the fiscal year 2026, participation in the GX-ETS will become mandatory for some companies in Japan. Carbon costs will become an increasingly important factor in considering long-term value creation for businesses. This seminar will explain the impacts of the full-scale implementation of the GX-ETS on Japanese companies and the economy. Additionally, we will introduce the future outlook for the GX-ETS and the paths that should be taken, from the perspectives of comparison with overseas emissions trading systems and its economic significance.
