We are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at BioJapan 2024. At our booth, we will showcase products across the three processes of 'Testing', 'Culturing', and 'Formulation'. In the 'Testing Process', we will introduce "alternative methods to animal testing" such as organ-on-a-chip and monocyte activation tests. In the 'Culturing Process', we will propose various assembly products and depth filters for building manufacturing lines. In the 'Formulation Process', we will present products related to the washing and storage solutions for cell therapies, as well as filling and logistics for final products. We understand that you will be busy during this period, but we sincerely look forward to welcoming many of you, so please feel free to invite others. ◆ Testing Process – Alternative Methods to Animal Testing – - Drug screening & toxicity testing with organ-on-a-chip - Pyrogen testing with MAT kits ◆ Culturing Process – Consumables – - Cell lysis enzyme endonuclease - Cryopreservation bags - Cell culture bags - Media bags - Intermediate product transfer & storage bags - Culturing depth filters ◆ Pharmaceutical Process – Filling & Logistics – - Cell product filling machines - Non-freezing cell storage solutions - Regenerative medicine product logistics boxes & loggers
