ForteBio On-Demand Webinar "Online Seminar on Promoting Research and Development for Treatments and Vaccine Development for COVID-19 Using Octet"

We support researchers worldwide in the study and development of treatments and vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 through the Octet platform.

In January 2020, the genomic sequence of COVID-19 was released, leading to many papers that brought breakthroughs related to the biology, vaccines, and therapeutic development of coronaviruses, featuring data from the Octet system for analyzing biomolecular interactions. The document "Advancing development of coronavirus vaccine and therapeutics," which can be downloaded from the catalog below, presents research papers that elucidate the binding kinetics and affinity, neutralization, cross-blocking, and potency of COVID-19 virus particles using the Octet system. ■ Rapidly screen and select optimal vaccine and therapeutic candidates ■ Ensure research progresses with the best candidates determined based on data *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us. 【Contact Information】 Sartorius Japan K.K.

High-throughput binding affinity measurement using BLI and Dip and Read assays. Accelerates kinetics analysis, quantification, and characterization.

Octet Systems is an automated assay system that enables label-free, real-time measurement and analysis of interactions between biomolecules using Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) and Dip and Read assays. It eliminates the bottlenecks of traditional SPR methods, achieving high throughput, compatibility with diverse samples, and ease of use. The Octet system offers five models, allowing for the selection of the optimal system based on the number of samples, applications, and budget. 【Features】 ■ High-throughput assay method facilitates multi-sample assays and optimization of experimental conditions. ■ Capable of measuring crude samples such as cell lysates in their unrefined state. ■ Allows measurement of low-solubility samples using buffers containing high concentrations of DMSO solutions. ■ No complicated setup, shutdown procedures, or maintenance required. ■ The Dip and Read assay enables the recovery and reuse of samples after measurement. *For more details, please refer to the related catalog or feel free to contact us.

Label-free assay with just a single drop of sample. Enables simple and rapid kinetics analysis, protein quantification and detection, and assay development.

The Octet N1 system is a personal assay system that enables label-free, real-time measurement and analysis of biomolecular interactions using Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI) and Dip and Read assays. It significantly reduces initial setup costs and allows for simple and rapid kinetics analysis (Ka, Kd, KD), protein detection and quantification, and assay development. 【Features】 ■ Measurement possible with just 4μL of a small sample ■ Ability to measure crude samples such as cell lysates in their unpurified state ■ Label-free assay that minimizes time and cost associated with labeling ■ No complicated setup, shutdown procedures, or maintenance required ■ Compact size that can be installed in a space smaller than A4 size ■ Kinetics analysis possible with reduced initial setup costs *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

To construction and civil engineering companies looking for the "next" step in digitalization. This seminar will explain the currently trending topic of "AI utilization" in 45 minutes. We will clearly introduce the latest trends, specific case studies, and steps for implementation to address questions such as "What can AI do?" and "How can it be applied to our business?" Whether your company is already advancing in DX or is just starting to consider AI, you will find hints for improving operational efficiency. 【Schedule】 1: Company introduction and instructor introduction 2: Case studies of AI utilization in the construction and civil engineering industry 3: Convincing examples! Patterns of AI utilization in construction operations 4: Three steps to avoid failure in AI implementation 5: Q&A and closing remarks

We will address the issue of young employees who, despite joining the company, leave due to reasons such as "there's no time to be taught," "I don't understand when I'm told to learn by watching," and "what is written and said varies depending on the project or person in charge." We propose a system that accumulates the know-how of veterans in AI and systems, allowing young employees to search for and solve problems on their own. 【Schedule】 1: Company introduction and instructor introduction 2: Reasons why technical inheritance is not progressing (lack of time, difficulty in verbalizing) 3: "Next-generation manual and know-how sharing methods" utilizing video and AI search 4: Examples of system construction to institutionalize technical inheritance 5: Q&A and closing remarks

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from July 15 to 17, 2026. As an import trading company dealing with components such as transformers and DC/DC converters, we take pride in our wide range of product offerings. Each of these products is a high-quality device designed for specific applications, utilized in areas such as improving power supply efficiency and miniaturization. At our exhibition booth, you will be able to see these products in person, and we will provide detailed information about their performance and applications. We sincerely look forward to welcoming those interested in the miniaturization of power supplies.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be exhibiting at the 13th Occupational Safety and Health Exhibition, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from July 15 to 17, 2026. At our exhibition space, we will showcase safety products such as LED line lights, shock detection labels (Shock Watch), temperature management indicators, and industrial belt partitions. At our booth, you will have the opportunity to see these products in person and learn more about their performance and applications. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

[Instructor] Takahisa Saito, Human Resources Consultant, Saito Social Insurance and Labor Office [Key Lecture Content] Human resource systems support the foundation of an organization. However, if the operation is neglected, the system itself will collapse. There are various systems, but among them, the "grade system, evaluation system, and wage system" can be considered the three major elements. We must design these three major elements with the operation in mind. In other words, it is important that the system is easy for management to operate. There is no need to overthink it. Additionally, as work style reforms progress, we must also consider the response to equal pay for equal work. I believe that what lies ahead after organizing the current situation is the "limited regular employee." In this seminar, we will share anticipated information and provide clear explanations. Furthermore, for those attending in person, meaningful information exchange is possible through questions and mutual confirmation. [Lecture Items] 1. Trends and Perspectives Surrounding Human Resources 2. Basics of the Grade System 3. Basics of the Evaluation System 4. Basics of the Wage System 5. Considering Equal Pay and Job-Based Employment 6. Q&A / Business Card Exchange
