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.

[Instructor] Kikaku Corporation, Nomura Research Institute, Consulting Division Senior Principal, Patent Attorney Rikiichi Hayashi [Key Lecture Content] In today's manufacturing industries, including electronics, machinery, chemicals, semiconductors, batteries, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, automobiles, food, steel, cement, convenience stores, and content IP, the intensification of global competition and the rise of emerging companies leading to commoditization are accelerating. It is becoming increasingly difficult to secure sustainable profits with traditional exclusive intellectual property strategies alone. In this seminar, we will systematize the management model practiced by winners as the "IPX Management Strategy Model." By redefining and clarifying the functions of Open IP (customer-attracting IP) in addition to traditional Closed IP (revenue-generating IP), we will explain specific methods for management transformation that create asymmetric advantages (business disruption power) that overwhelm competitors. We will share practical approaches that achieve an operating profit margin of over 15% and a PBR of 2-3 times.

We will hold the 29th University-Originated Seed Matching Seminar. We will introduce the latest technologies from Kyoto University. We hope you will join us. 【▼Details here (Free participation, online)】 https://www.tlo-kyoto.co.jp/event/202511191448.html ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◯ Date and Time: December 18, 2025 (Thursday) 13:30–15:00 ◯ Application Deadline: December 12, 2025 (Friday) ◯ Format: Online, Free ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▼ Program Around 13:30–14:00: “Automatic Detection System for Muscle Activation Intervals for Home Monitoring of Sleep Disruption Factors” Lecturer Kana Eguchi, Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University Around 14:00–14:30: “Quantitative Evaluation of Antibody Drug Stability Against Fluid Stress” Professor Kenji Sugase, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University Around 14:30–15:00: “High-Throughput, Low-Cost Comprehensive Transcriptome Analysis Enabled by Nearly Random Index (NRI) Method” Professor Yasuhiro Murakawa, Graduate School of Medicine / ASHBi, Kyoto University
