Aseptic testing is generally required to be conducted using the final processed product as the test specimen, based on the aseptic testing method specified in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia General Test Method (4.06). This testing method requires a culture period of more than 14 days to obtain results. On the other hand, for specific cell processing products, it is desirable to obtain the results of the aseptic test before administration to the patient. However, due to the time required to obtain results from the pharmacopoeia-compliant aseptic test, it is often the case that test results are determined after administration. Additionally, for specific cell processing products, due to limitations such as the amount of specimen available and the time required for testing, it may not be possible to apply the aseptic testing method compliant with the pharmacopoeia. In such cases, consideration may be given to the "Rapid Microbial Testing Method" (as referenced in the 18th revision of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia). Our company has developed a rapid aseptic testing method using PCR that covers a wide range of microorganisms, including not only those listed in the pharmacopoeia but also environmental bacteria and human-derived bacteria, allowing for detection in a short time.

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.

This is a practical monetization seminar that clearly explains the process of creating acrylic keychains and how to generate profits, with the opportunity to ask questions on the spot. You will also be able to see the movements of the "BD-8" and laser processing machines at the venue. It's perfect for those who want to start a manufacturing business!

In this seminar, we will break down "DX" into five elements in relation to the concept of innovation and explain them with examples. The aim is to deepen the understanding of "DX" itself and clarify what steps should be taken first. Additionally, we will introduce the approach of "suitable personnel in suitable places ERP" as a way to select the foundation for promoting "DX." <Program> - Introduction - The lagging DX in manufacturing and how to succeed in the new era - The choice of "suitable personnel in suitable places" ERP as a foundation for strengthening competitiveness <Recommended for> - Those who are exploring what steps to take towards DX - Business owners, managers in the manufacturing industry, and those responsible for management innovation - System personnel interested in the future of core systems *Applications from competing companies may be declined.

Recommended for: - Those who conduct sterility tests in their daily work - Those interested in rapid sterility testing - Those curious about highly sensitive detection methods for sterility tests In the fields of regenerative medicine and cell therapy, rapid sterility testing is required to enhance patient safety. The sterility testing reagent "BactFinder/FungiFinder," based on nucleic acid amplification methods, covers a wide range of microorganisms, including not only pharmacopoeial bacteria but also environmental bacteria and human-derived bacteria, allowing for detection in a short time. This seminar will include explanations of data related to sterility testing reagents, as well as detailed descriptions of highly sensitive testing systems. We understand you may be busy, but we hope you will join us.
