[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.

[Instructor] Attorney Kurato Suzuki, Irokawa Law Office [Key Lecture Content] Due to the amendments to the Comprehensive Promotion Law for Labor Policies, starting from October 1, 2026, employers will be required to take necessary measures in employment management regarding customer harassment (Kasu Hara) and sexual harassment against job seekers (Job Hunting Sexual Harassment). In line with this, companies will need to prepare for practical implementation before the enforcement date, based on the guidelines published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This includes developing internal regulations, establishing consultation and response systems, raising awareness within the company, and determining judgment and response methods on-site. This seminar will organize the setting of job hunting rules related to job hunting sexual harassment, internal awareness, and key points for regulatory development. It will also explain the distinction between legitimate complaints and customer harassment, judgment, documentation, and response on-site, the establishment of a company-wide system, regulatory development considering dispute risks, and points that are easily overlooked. The Human Resources, Labor, Legal, and Compliance departments will systematically organize the response matters that need to be confirmed in preparation for the enforcement on October 1, 2026, from the perspectives of guideline compliance and on-site operations. [Lecture Items] 1. Job Hunting Sexual Harassment 2. Customer Harassment 3. Q&A

[Speaker] Mr. Itsuki Wakayama, Project General Manager, Technology Promotion Unit, Low Carbon Solutions Division, INPEX Corporation [Key Lecture Content] The greatest advantage of synthetic methane production through CO2 methanation technology is that it enables decarbonization without significant additions or modifications to all existing natural gas and city gas infrastructure. At INPEX, after two NEDO commissioned projects, we have been conducting the development of practical application technology with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h, one of the largest in the world, as a subsidized project by NEDO since the fiscal year 2021. By the fiscal year 2025, we aim to achieve the injection of synthetic methane produced during the demonstration operation of the test facility. This presentation will provide detailed information on the results of the NEDO project for the fiscal year 2025, including the current status of the latest test facilities. [Presentation Items] 1. INPEX's efforts towards net zero by 2050 2. Policy trends related to CO2 methanation 3. Challenges of CO2 methanation 4. Results of the NEDO practical application technology development project with a capacity of 400 Nm3-CO2/h for the fiscal year 2025 5. Future commercialization prospects and challenges 6. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Speaker] Mr. Satoru Shimizu, President and CEO of Okunote Inc. [Key Lecture Content] Generative AI is not a "magic wand," but a "mirror" that reflects the questions of the user. In this lecture, based on my book "The 'Super' Planning Techniques Practiced by Competition Disruptors: Seven Creative Steps to Lead Winning Strategies with the 'Art of Questioning'," I will explain how to overcome the challenges of proposals being rejected, not moving forward within the company, and not being executed on-site through interactions with AI. I will introduce the entire process of planning, linking it with AI utilization, from question design to hypothesis destruction, structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective, forming internal consensus, managing execution, and turning reflections into assets. In the latter part of the workshop (exclusive to on-site participants), you will actually formulate questions and refine your dialogue with AI, taking home usable "art of questioning" techniques for tomorrow. [Lecture Items] 1. Orientation: AI is a "mirror," not a "magic wand." 2. Enhancing the precision of planning through "question design" and "hypothesis destruction." 3. Structuring materials from the decision-maker's perspective to create "acceptable" proposals. 4. Forming consensus that transcends internal barriers. 5. Mechanisms that prevent execution from stopping and turning experiences into assets through reflection. 6. Habitualizing AI as a "partner" and the roles humans will take on in the AI era.
