[Announcement of Webinar] Agilent Pharma / Biopharma Virtual Summit 2021

Agilent dissolution tester online UV system

The Cary 60 spectrophotometer, when combined with a pump in an online UV system, along with the sampling station 850-DS, allows for filter filtration and simultaneous sampling into test tubes or HPLC vials after filtration. **Evaluation Method for Drugs in Dissolution Testing Using Fiber Optics** Using fiber optics enables direct quantification of drugs within the vessel without the need for sampling. For example, when using fiber optics in dissolution testing for the evaluation of crystallization suppression of solid dispersions aimed at improving solubility, detailed dissolution profiles can be obtained through measurements at short intervals, as no sampling is required.

JP17 Bureau Reference Information: Mechanical Calibration Correspondence for Dissolution Test Apparatus

The 280-DS MQS measures the parameters of mechanical calibration of dissolution testers with high precision. Measurement is done hands-free thanks to sensor technology, taking only about 30 minutes per unit. It complies with 21 CFR Part 11. ★ Mechanical calibration has been included as reference information in the 17th edition revision. "To aim for reduced variability in test results through mechanical calibration, it is recommended to apply this reference information." (From the 17th Japanese Pharmacopoeia revision "Standard Methods for Mechanical Calibration of Dissolution Testers")

• Dissolution Tester

Corresponds to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, USP, and EP3. The design minimizes mechanical variation factors of the device using vessels that reduce the deviation of the container's centering.

The dissolution tester 708-DS features one-touch centering with the TruAlign vessel, and its design minimizes the risk of misalignment after installation, reducing the risk of failure during mechanical calibration. It supports Japanese language, has a two-piece paddle, and significantly improves basic operability with an expanded space between the drive unit and the vessel plate. It accommodates a wide range of dosage forms for dissolution testing, including tablets, capsules, rotating cylinders, and the paddle-over-disk method.

• Dissolution Tester

It automatically performs sample suction, filtration, and collection from the dissolution tester.

■Efficiency Automation enables easy and quick sampling. It eliminates the labor involved in dissolution testing and prevents variations in sampling volume and position that would be difficult to manage manually. All functions, including the pump, filter (optional), and sampler, are integrated into a device just 39 cm wide. One filter plate used for sample filtration contains the equivalent of eight 0.45 μm filters. ■Flexibility In addition to the standard pump function, you can select filter functions according to your needs. Sampling can accommodate test tubes, HPLC vials, and well plates. ■Accuracy The rotary piston syringe pump ensures precise sampling of the specified amount at designated sampling points. Uniformity The color touch panel of the 850-DS allows for input of the dissolution test program. ■Test Results Test data can be printed using the built-in printer.

Management of test data, data integrity, dissolution testing software!

Since 2015, guidance on data integrity (DI) has been issued by the MHRA (UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), WHO, FDA, and PIC/S, and its importance has been increasing in recent years. DI is defined as "the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of data. Data that is complete, consistent, and accurate is recorded with attributes of traceability, legibility, and contemporaneity, and is either original data or a true copy, and is accurate." It also ensures that pharmaceuticals meet the required quality standards. DWS is the optimal software for ensuring data integrity in dissolution testing. It supports access management, data tampering prevention, and backup, allowing for the management and control of dissolution testers and their peripheral devices with just this one software, making complex methods and data management easier to handle.

[Speaker] Ministry of Defense, Defense Planning Bureau, Defense Planning Division Director of Early Equipment Promotion Office, Mr. Toshiyuki Hinosawa [Key Lecture Content] As the security environment surrounding our country has become the most severe and complex since the post-war period, we are advancing efforts toward early equipment procurement in areas that are particularly urgent and important from a policy perspective, while also incorporating cutting-edge technology. In particular, unmanned assets were heavily utilized during Russia's invasion of Ukraine, drastically changing the nature of combat. In the future, I will discuss how the Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces will enhance these capabilities, including the multi-layered coastal defense system concept "SHIELD." [Lecture Items] 1. Concept and Overview of Early Equipment Procurement 2. Major Efforts Toward Early Equipment Procurement to Date 3. Strengthening Defense Capabilities of Unmanned Assets 4. Establishing a Multi-Layered Coastal Defense System "SHIELD" Using Unmanned Assets 5. Q&A / Business Card Exchange

We will be exhibiting at the "Converting Technology Comprehensive Exhibition 2026," which focuses on processing machines and equipment centered around converting technology. When you visit, please be sure to stop by our booth. We sincerely look forward to your visit. 【Our Booth Number】 2W-R33

[Instructor] Shunsuke Suzuki, President and CEO, Management Techniques Co., Ltd. [Key Lecture Content] The modern business environment is changing at an unpredictable pace, and to achieve success, new approaches that go beyond traditional thinking are essential. "Normal" thinking and "conventional" solutions cannot differentiate you in a highly competitive market. True breakthroughs arise from stepping outside the box. Therefore, the ability to "discover hidden problems and create innovative ideas that others cannot think of" becomes crucial. So, how can we develop such abilities and apply them in the business field? Successful business leaders, skilled engineers, and entrepreneurs who have achieved results do not rely solely on logic; they employ creative thinking. This can be broadly categorized into four areas: associative thinking, abstract thinking, multifaceted thinking, and conceptual thinking. In this seminar, we will learn four creative thinking approaches that will be immediately applicable in business settings. Through these, let’s master the way of thinking that will keep you one step ahead in the business world.

[Speaker] President and CEO of Leading Innovation Co., Ltd. Senior Consultant Yoshizawa Yosuke [Lecture Topics] 1. Common sense is creating a sense of stagnation in new product and new business development. 2. Reasons why "latent needs are infinite." 3. How to convert technology into functionality. 4. The importance and methods of converting functionality into value. 5. How to discover attractive themes from technology through a business structure map and generative AI. 6. Formulating competitive advantage strategies. 7. Q&A Session.
