August 27, 2026 (Thursday) 13:30 - Measures against metal adsorption issues in LC-MS/MS analysis - Sensitivity improvement and reproducibility enhancement brought by Inert LC columns.

Eplan, the comprehensive electrical design CAD used by customers worldwide. We will hold a real event called "EPLAN Operation Experience Session," where you can actually experience operating EPLAN. In the morning session, we will explain the overview of EPLAN, and in the afternoon session, you will have the opportunity to operate the actual equipment and gain hands-on experience. You can participate in just one of the seminars, or you can join both and experience EPLAN in one day. You can experience the operation and features of EPLAN P8 and Pro Panel at three locations: the EPLAN Shin-Yokohama office, the Osaka office, and the Osaka office. Participation is free! Please come and check out the feel of operating Eplan.

This year, we are offering a special public release of previously unpublished seminar videos! We have included a wealth of content that will be useful for analysts, ranging from basic explanations to advanced techniques. You can also download technical materials. 【Videos】 Latest GC columns effective for trace analysis and MS application examples Extreme series: GC WAX column edition, medium polarity GC column edition, PLOT column edition, amine-specific GC column edition, and more. 【Materials】 Development of a simultaneous analysis method for 45 components of ultra-short to long-chain PFAS Newly developed! Evaluation of high-inert GC columns (SVOC analysis) Stability evaluation of PFAS standard solutions Development of an analysis method for 21 PFAS components in milk, and more. -------- 【Highlights of the Real Exhibition】 Booth No. 8B-605 In trace analysis, if you are experiencing "low sensitivity" or "the calibration curve bends on the low concentration side," the cause may be the column. Restek's proposed new technology, "RMX GC Column," suppresses adsorption loss in low concentration areas through its unique inertization treatment. It achieves good peak shape and high reproducibility even for compounds at the picogram level, which are difficult to detect with conventional columns. At the booth, we will provide technical explanations along with actual measurement data, and you can also consult about challenges in the analysis field.

Non-specific adsorption (NSA) and non-specific binding (NSB) to metal surfaces are major causes of peak disappearance, sensitivity reduction, and poor reproducibility in the LC MS/MS analysis of pesticides, mycotoxins, and acidic polar compounds. Traditionally, the only way to address these issues was through complex conditioning or "band-aid" solutions using mobile phase additives. In this webinar, we will provide a detailed explanation of how Restek's Inert LC column technology fundamentally resolves these challenges, supported by real data. We will showcase how the Inert series, including Raptor ARC 18 and Raptor Biphenyl, improves peak shape, peak area, and LOD for metal-sensitive compounds, with specific examples from pesticide analysis, mycotoxins, PFAS, and phthalate ester analysis. This content is recommended for anyone involved in multi-component analysis using GC/MS, whether for target or non-target analysis, and for those who are just starting. We will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner for GC/MS beginners. https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1160201828261205080

[Instructor] Takuya Sugawara, Head of AI Business, Sanshin Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] Voices such as "We can't hire people even if we post job openings" and "We don't have the capacity for training" are not uncommon in the management scenes of small and medium-sized enterprises. To break the labor shortage, what is needed is not to increase the number of people but to increase "the capabilities of the employees we currently have." In this seminar, we will organize the use of "AI agents" that take on daily tasks such as document creation and data processing, thereby enhancing the responsiveness of each employee as a management system. We will explain in an easy-to-understand manner the concept of reallocating time gained through efficiency improvements to tasks that have been postponed, such as information gathering, internal analysis, and information dissemination, as well as how to elevate the skills of both veteran and younger employees through dialogue with AI, and provide real examples that illustrate the changes after implementation. This seminar can be utilized as material for business owners and management planners to consider a system that simultaneously balances defensive and offensive strategies.

This is an exhibition introducing another face of Tsujikawa, the 3D modeling business. We provide comprehensive support from the creation of 3D data to modeling and finishing, achieving high-precision three-dimensionalization from sketches and scans of actual objects. We cater to a wide range of needs, including super-large modeling, store fixtures, and character modeling. By combining our experience in embellishing paper and packaging with three-dimensional modeling, we propose the creation of ideal spaces that expand from two dimensions to three dimensions and into space, as only professionals can. We invite you to visit the Tsujikawa booth. *Osaka Industrial Creation Center, 3F Market Plaza, Booth No. 30
