Provides high reliability! An excellent tool for measuring a wide range of molecular interactions.

The Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) is a device that detects the heat changes associated with titration at a constant temperature and is primarily used for analyzing molecular interactions. It measures the minute heat changes that occur when molecules bind to each other, allowing for the determination of binding ratio (n), binding constant (Ka), and the enthalpy change of binding (ΔH) from the resulting titration curve. Affinity ITC is an isothermal titration calorimeter that provides high sensitivity, high reproducibility, and advanced ITC technology in life science research environments. With AccuShot technology, it delivers precise amounts of titrant to the appropriate location, and the FlexSpin stirring function achieves efficient mixing and high sensitivity. The automatic cleaning function prevents contamination between samples. It offers the option of standard capacity (1.0 mL) or low capacity cells (190 µL), and a temperature-controlled auto-sampler for 96 wells is also available.

Virus Research Case Study: Characterization of Viruses - Evaluation of Structure and Binding Properties Using Calorimetry -

Currently, the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is a global issue. TA Instruments hopes to contribute, even in a small way, to addressing the challenges posed by COVID-19 by introducing examples of virus research conducted by universities and research institutions using TA equipment. Research institutions that incorporate studies using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) to understand the structure and mechanisms of viruses are rapidly advancing. Please take a look at the examples.

Evaluation of the generation process and characteristics of biofuels using a modular thermal analysis measurement device (TAM).

The calorimetry measurement device (TAM series) is an instrument known as a microcalorimeter that measures very small amounts of heat. By combining a thermostat with high isothermal performance with a calorimeter (calorimeter) suited to the sample and measurement method, it is possible to measure minute heat generated or consumed during physical processes or chemical reactions with sensitivity exceeding microwatts. It is a useful tool that can contribute to the research and development of biofuels and environmental improvement, allowing real-time calorimetry measurements while performing operations such as the addition, mixing, and titration of chemicals through module combinations. This document provides a detailed explanation of high-sensitivity calorimetry measurements of biofuels, which are difficult to observe with conventional differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), as well as real-time measurements of heat changes associated with chemical reactions. ◇ Quantification of wax based on the heat of solidification reactions ◇ Evaluation of the production rate of biofuels *Please download the document.

Using PLA beverage cups as measurement samples, thermal and mechanical properties were investigated utilizing thermal analysis techniques such as temperature-modulated DSC and DMA!

As the industrial sector has begun to focus more on developing and manufacturing environmentally friendly products, various new biodegradable polymers have been adopted. Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester produced from lactic acid obtained through the saccharification and fermentation of starch. Due to its high mechanical strength comparable to PETE and good biocompatibility, PLA has been commonly used in biomedical applications such as sutures and stents, but the expansion of PLA's applications is being considered. Understanding the properties of PLA is essential for the development of new applications. We present materials that investigate the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA-based beverage cups using temperature-modulated DSC and DMA. *Please download the materials.

When conducting structural analysis of organic compounds, IR, NMR, and MS can be considered the three sacred treasures. If the analysis is performed correctly, it is possible to elucidate the structure of even quite complex compounds. However, actual spectra are often not of a single compound, as seen in textbooks, which can lead to significant challenges in interpreting results for beginners in analysis. Additionally, while database searches are a useful tool in structural analysis, the ability to read spectra is necessary to select the correct structure from among the candidates, not just pattern matching. In this course, we will lecture on the basic ways to interpret IR, NMR, and MS spectra, including simple explanations of principles, points to be aware of during analysis, and how to proceed with actual analysis, incorporating some exercises as well.

[Speaker] Yuri Ishii, Deputy Director, Environmental Economics Division, Minister's Secretariat, Ministry of the Environment [Key Lecture Content] This guide has been created with the intention of assisting companies in responding to the increasing demands for disclosure in various environmental fields, such as climate change and natural capital, and was published in June of the 7th year of Reiwa. The "integrated approach" introduced in this guide suggests that companies should not respond individually to the disclosure requirements in each environmental field, but rather engage with an awareness of their interconnections. Through this initiative, we aim to improve business processes under management involvement, effectively and efficiently address various environmental issues, and facilitate disclosure. The key points of the guide will be explained. [Lecture Items] 1. Expansion of environmental issues to be addressed 2. Significance of integrated initiatives and disclosure 3. Trends in sustainability-related information disclosure 4. Methods and benefits of integrated initiatives and disclosure; case studies of companies 5. Utilization of environmental due diligence for information disclosure 6. Q&A / Business card exchange
