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] Keigo Shibagaki, Director CAIO, Japan Cable Lab, General Incorporated Association [Key Lecture Content] With the rapid evolution of AI, industrial structures, business domains, values, and lifestyles are undergoing significant changes. Some businesses and industries may disappear in an instant. What will not disappear, no matter how much AI evolves, is the homes where people live. Regional businesses, like cable services, which are close to these enduring end users, will be reevaluated in an AI-centric society. How businesses incorporate AI and connect it to growth is crucial. A misstep could lead to being overwhelmed by the wave of AI evolution, resulting in wasted efforts and unnecessary investments. In this lecture, we will discuss how businesses can engage with AI to protect and grow their operations, touching on the direction of technological evolution related to AI, the content of Japan Cable Lab's "Cable AI," and also the AI development engineering at Japan Cable Lab.

[Speaker] Shinya Okimoto, Founder & CEO of Oki Studio LLC [Lecture Topics] Part 1: What is an AI Factory? - A New Industrial Infrastructure for the AI Era Part 2: Who Does the AI Factory Help Grow? - The Structure of Competitive Advantage in Growing Companies Part 3: Where Will the Next Growth Opportunities Arise? - New Business Areas Created by AI Investment Part 4: Where Should Japanese Companies Compete? - Growth Strategies Toward 2030 [Q&A]

To comply with regulations, traceability, and data integrity, the adoption of LIMS and ELN is progressing, along with the networking of analytical instruments such as chromatography and mass spectrometry. However, while automated data collection and centralized management are advancing, new barriers associated with connectivity are also becoming apparent. Data silos due to inconsistent standards among equipment manufacturers, the difficulty of system integration caused by vendor lock-in, as well as cybersecurity risks and significant variations in the IT literacy of researchers and technicians conducting experiments on-site, are major bottlenecks. In this online seminar, we will introduce our next-generation premium electronic balance, the new product "Cubis III," which is gaining attention as one of the solutions to these challenges. We hope you will join us!
