A high-resolution GCMS workflow that clarifies the differences in the constituent components of various foods.

The processed foods we consume develop unique flavors and aromas due to various differences in the quantities and origins of the ingredients used, as well as cooking times, even if they share the same name. Understanding these differences at the component level is crucial in food research, and the use of GC/MS methods is expected to shed light on volatile components, which are believed to be factors influencing aroma. Non-target analysis that encompasses all contained components has been considered challenging due to the vast amount of information and the complexity of analytical operations. To obtain reliable results, efficient sampling methods, chromatographic separation, advanced mass separation, and software for smooth statistical analysis of the data are required. In this technical document, we present a workflow using high-resolution GC-MS (Orbitrap GC-MS) and Compound Discoverer software for low molecular analysis, as a solution to smoothly and accurately address this complex food comparison, exemplified by the inter-sample comparison of commercially available meat sauces from three food manufacturers.

Achieving accurate and highly sensitive quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using high-resolution GC-MS.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are components generated from the heating of organic materials, and due to concerns about their carcinogenicity and other health effects, PAHs present in food are regulated in some countries and regions. In particular, edible oils may undergo heating as a pretreatment during extraction from raw materials, which raises the possibility that PAHs could be generated during the thermal processing, even if the raw materials themselves do not contain PAHs. Since various countries have established standard values for PAHs, safety inspections may be required when exporting food abroad. These standard values are becoming stricter year by year, and high-sensitivity detection measurement devices are needed to accurately quantify these standard values. This application note presents a case of highly sensitive quantification of PAHs without interference from matrix components, achieved using the high mass resolution and mass accuracy of the Orbitrap GC-M system, a high-resolution GCMS. Data acquisition is performed through full scan measurements, making method development easier and enabling retrospective analysis (such as checking whether newly regulated components were present in previously measured samples).

Reliable simultaneous analysis of 325 pesticide components in food matrices unaffected by interference using high-resolution GC-MS.

In the quantitative analysis of pesticide residues in food, triple quadrupole mass spectrometers such as GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS are commonly used. This is because they can separate trace amounts of pesticides from the food matrix and detect peaks with high sensitivity. On the other hand, our Orbitrap mass spectrometer allows for advanced mass separation, enabling the detection of pesticide peaks without interference from the food-derived matrix. This application note introduces a simultaneous analysis of 325 pesticide components using a GC-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The Orbitrap mass spectrometer facilitates method development for data acquisition in Full MS measurements, and its high mass accuracy allows for the precise estimation of molecular formulas for each fragment ion, providing reliable quantitative information.

Laboratory efficiency improvement! Automation of wet chemical analysis in the chemical industry, food sector, and environmental field.

The Gallery discrete automatic analyzer automates manual wet chemical analysis, spectrophotometric analysis (colorimetric and enzyme analysis), and electrochemical analysis (measurement of pH and electrical conductivity). The discrete method allows for the simultaneous measurement of many analytical components, reducing the overall analysis time and the operator's workload. The Gallery discrete automatic analyzer minimizes waste liquid volume by utilizing miniaturized components and a unique low-volume cell design, allowing analysis with a small amount of reagents, which in turn reduces the costs associated with analysis. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

[Speaker] Hideo Yamamoto, President and CEO of DIVE COMPASS Inc. [Key Message] "Consumers will no longer be at the end of the power system." By reconfiguring the energy landscape starting from the "consumer" rather than viewing renewable energy, electricity retail, PPA, storage batteries, EVs, VPP, and DSF as separate businesses, there is potential to create new energy businesses in Japan. This presentation will not only introduce the latest trends in Europe but will also consider future market changes and business opportunities from the perspective of "what can be commercialized next in the Japanese market." [Presentation Items] 1. Why consider the electricity market from the consumer's perspective now? 2. Five market changes confirmed at FLEXCON 2026 on the front lines of European DSF 3. The current state of the Japanese DSF market seen through comparison with Europe 4. New consumer-centric energy businesses emerging in Japan 5. Who will hold the connection with consumers by 2030? 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

Are you struggling with the fact that even after raising recruitment costs and hourly wages, on-site personnel are not sticking around? The true causes of turnover lie in "fatigue from heavy labor" and "discomfort in the work environment." However, improving the entire facility or fully automating operations involves enormous initial investments and is not realistic. In this seminar, we will reveal three practical solutions to create a "preferred workplace" based on a case study that reduced investment costs by approximately 20% compared to traditional proposals, without relying on expensive renovations or endless wage increases. The key lies in the integrated design of "construction and equipment" and "robotics." By thoroughly eliminating unnecessary capital investments, we can dramatically reduce the burden on the workforce and enhance productivity. As a company that also engages in outsourcing, we will thoroughly explain the "three principles" that support integrated design, using actual improvement cases. This content is a must-see for executives and site managers who want to fundamentally solve labor shortages within their budgets. [Recommended for] - Companies that continue to face turnover and recruitment difficulties despite raising wages and recruitment costs. - Site managers and executives who considered full building air conditioning or complete automation but abandoned the idea due to high costs. - Site managers and executives who want to balance investment restraint and productivity improvement through relocation or renovations.

We will be exhibiting at the "26th Business Fair" hosted by Seibu Shinkin Bank, which will be held on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the Triangle Plaza in Shinjuku Sumitomo Building! This event is a corporate exhibition and matching event aimed at expanding business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises. Over 300 companies and organizations will participate, promoting their excellent technologies and products to one another.
