DKSH Japan Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at BioPharma 2017.

High-sensitivity biosensor based on the SwichSENSE principle using DNA as a fixation tool.

heliX/heliX+ is a high-sensitivity device for analyzing molecular interactions and protein properties that adopts a new principle called "SwitchSENSE," which uses DNA nanolevers as a immobilization tool. It has approximately 100 times the sensitivity of existing biosensors and possesses a wide range of applications and analytical capabilities, including the analysis of high-affinity interactions that are difficult to measure with conventional devices, dual specificity interaction analysis, and enzyme kinetics analysis of nucleic acid-related enzymes. Additionally, the chip can be reused multiple times. Since DNA is used for immobilization, it allows for a high degree of freedom in presenting molecules on the chip, such as immobilizing two types of molecules. There are also no effects from the immobilization matrix. Furthermore, being a sensor that uses nucleic acids allows for easy implementation of enzyme kinetics analysis for nucleic acid-related enzymes such as polymerases and endonucleases, and it demonstrates significant power in evaluating inhibitors of viral proliferation. The modular design of the device also enables easy high-throughput capabilities. It can be utilized in a wide range of research, from drug discovery to biophysical fundamental research on biomolecules.

[Speaker] Kei Konagai, Senior Manager, Strategy& at PwC Consulting LLC [Key Lecture Content] The use of generative AI is rapidly expanding among manufacturing companies. However, many companies fall into the trap of being unable to produce results after simply "implementing it for now." A survey conducted by Strategy& involving 247 European manufacturing companies revealed that while the effects of back-office utilization are limited, the introduction of generative AI into core operations such as R&D and sales is the key to improving profitability. In Japanese companies as well, those aiming for structural transformation tend to achieve results that exceed expectations compared to those that only focus on streamlining peripheral operations. However, currently, it is not common to consider results indicators such as sales and gross profit margin in conjunction with these efforts. In this lecture, we will elaborate on a generative AI utilization strategy aimed at maximizing revenue impact from three perspectives: "strengthening upstream (design and development)," "streamlining downstream (after-sales service)," and "building a promotion system."

In this seminar, we will introduce "Platio Connect," which allows you to easily create mobile applications and achieve data integration with internal systems and automation of data utilization tasks without coding. We will also share demonstrations and case studies of companies that have successfully improved their operational efficiency. If you want to effectively utilize on-site data as internal assets, or if you want to leverage internal data on-site, or if you are interested in promoting DX (digital transformation) in the field, please join us.
