By using tools compliant with GxP and simple operations, we enable productivity improvements in the analysis development and quality control of pharmaceuticals under regulatory environments.

As a regulatory requirement, biopharmaceuticals must be QC tested using methods that are robust and appropriately qualified and validated under GMP conditions. The Octet system for analyzing biomolecular interactions is a reliable system that facilitates method development for in-process testing and lot release testing, and it can be easily transferred to QC. Due to its ease of use and high throughput characteristics, it can achieve up to 40 times the productivity of ELISA and up to 16 times that of SPR equipment in specific GMP applications. ■ The Octet CFR software and FB server functionality maintain secure and traceable electronic records. ■ The IQ/OQ/PQ package guarantees the required conditions and operations. ■ Validation support services for software and biosensors are provided. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Contec has added a BTO menu for the Windows 11-based embedded OS - Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 to its industrial computer "MR4310 series" and has started accepting orders.

Contec has developed the Ethernet wireless converters "RP-WAH-SR12" and "RP-WAH-SR22," which utilize 920MHz sub-gigahertz wireless (IEEE 802.11ah) to enable Ethernet communication wirelessly even at distances of up to 1 km. Sales began on August 21, 2025. The new products are compact IEEE 802.11ah compliant wireless LAN converters that can be installed in various locations. The new Wi-Fi standard "IEEE 802.11ah," which utilizes sub-gigahertz wireless communication, became available in Japan in September 2022. It operates in the 920MHz band without the need for a license and can be used outdoors. Compared to conventional 920MHz wireless communication, it enables high-speed communication and the establishment of long-distance networks, making it expected to be utilized in large factories, plants, and farms. The new Ethernet wireless converters are designed to be lightweight and compact, allowing for installation in various locations such as walls and DIN rails with the included mounting brackets. Additionally, they support external antennas, enabling the construction of flexible wireless LAN systems.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.
