The best device for molecular interaction research from Tecan, the industry leader. Spark.

We have achieved overwhelming high sensitivity that is essential for studies of molecular interactions such as FRET, TR-FRET, Alpha assay, and BRET. - The introduction of high-sensitivity PMTs allows for compatibility with various fluorescent dyes. - The optical system incorporates Fusion Optics, enabling the selection of monochrome and filters on both the excitation and fluorescence sides. This flexibility allows for various scenarios, such as condition testing before the actual assay. - The Alpha assay is equipped with an infrared sensor, which measures the temperature of each well and provides temperature-corrected experimental results. This plays an important role in the Alpha assay, where a deviation of just 1 degree can lead to a maximum error of 10%. In cell-based assays, the main unit has a built-in CO2 incubator function, providing an optimal environment for cell proliferation. Additionally, with the introduction of an injector, it is possible to perform assays without removing the plates from the Spark.

Reducing costs while increasing work efficiency by four times! Introducing a case study of "Spark."

At the University of Salzburg's Photodynamic Inactivation Research Laboratory, we are researching technologies that utilize photosensitive substances for human health. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have the ability to eliminate major pathogens and cancer cells, so we aim to generate ROS using various photoactive compounds and apply this in a wide range of fields from food contamination removal to medical applications. In our laboratory, we use the 'Spark 10M Reader' to evaluate the amount of photosensitive substances taken up by cells. All photosensitive molecules can be tracked over time through fluorescence measurements of their intracellular concentrations. It is very convenient as we can incubate culture plates in the measurement chamber while managing the environment. Additionally, by using the new "Te-Cool Cooling Module," we have made some preliminary experiments possible. We can now study methods to utilize PDI for the removal of surface contamination by mimicking the conditions when microorganisms are placed outside the human body.

[Instructor] Attorney Kurato Suzuki, Irokawa Law Office [Key Lecture Content] Due to the amendments to the Comprehensive Promotion Law for Labor Policies, starting from October 1, 2026, employers will be required to take necessary measures in employment management regarding customer harassment (Kasu Hara) and sexual harassment against job seekers (Job Hunting Sexual Harassment). In line with this, companies will need to prepare for practical implementation before the enforcement date, based on the guidelines published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This includes developing internal regulations, establishing consultation and response systems, raising awareness within the company, and determining judgment and response methods on-site. This seminar will organize the setting of job hunting rules related to job hunting sexual harassment, internal awareness, and key points for regulatory development. It will also explain the distinction between legitimate complaints and customer harassment, judgment, documentation, and response on-site, the establishment of a company-wide system, regulatory development considering dispute risks, and points that are easily overlooked. The Human Resources, Labor, Legal, and Compliance departments will systematically organize the response matters that need to be confirmed in preparation for the enforcement on October 1, 2026, from the perspectives of guideline compliance and on-site operations.
