Efforts to Ensure Stable Provision of Ultra-Low Temperature Measurement and Analysis Services - Establishing a Helium Recycling System in Preparation for the Helium Crisis -

Our company (hereinafter referred to as "TRC") has introduced a system at our Shiga facility to re-liquefy helium gas used as a refrigerant in analytical instruments, in preparation for the helium crisis that has garnered particular attention in recent years. This has established a framework for the stable and continuous provision of specialized analytical services for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and other ultra-low temperature measurements, which are essential for liquid helium. Helium is used in a wide range of fields, including superconducting magnets, medical devices, and scientific research, but it has become increasingly difficult to obtain in recent years due to a decrease in supply and a global increase in demand. At TRC, we have built a system to recover and reuse helium gas that vaporizes from NMR superconducting magnets and liquid helium containers, and we have begun operations. This allows us to provide stable services for NMR and ultra-low temperature measurements while contributing to the effective use of helium. TRC will continue to strive to provide sustainable advanced analytical services while responding to changes in the resource supply environment, based on our fundamental philosophy of "contributing to society through advanced technology."
