We will be exhibiting at the 9th BioPharma Expo (Interphex Week Tokyo) to be held from July 9 (Wednesday) to July 11 (Friday), 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight. In addition to showcasing a wide portfolio that includes new products, we also plan to hold numerous product and technology seminars. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Thermo Fisher Scientific will hold an online seminar focused on Extractables & Leachables (E&L). In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for single-use products in the process development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and vaccines. Understanding E&L from single-use bags when using these products is crucial for improving the quality of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, and it is also necessary to comprehend regulatory guidelines. This online seminar will deepen your understanding of regulatory guidelines related to E&L and teach you the key points of E&L testing based on the E&L data provided by suppliers regarding single-use products. Additionally, our specialists will introduce actual analytical methods for E&L and case studies from actual customers based on measurement data related to single-use bags. This online seminar requires prior registration (free of charge). All presentations will be conducted in Japanese. Date and Time: October 27, 2021 (Wednesday) 14:00 - 15:00 Format: Online Language: Japanese

Recently, data integrity has become increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry, and regulatory authorities in various countries are issuing guidance on data integrity. There has been a rising trend in observations related to data integrity during inspections by authorities, and many companies may be facing challenges in their efforts to address data integrity. In this webinar, three speakers from different positions will discuss data integrity from their respective perspectives: supporting regulatory compliance, practical implementation, and providing analytical instruments and software. During the seminar, we will accept questions widely through the chat function. We hope to help clarify any doubts regarding data integrity and assist in ensuring the safety of pharmaceuticals. We sincerely look forward to your participation.

In this online seminar, our specialists will provide an easy-to-understand introduction to various products used in CAR-T therapy development, including the newly launched human T lymphocyte proliferation medium Gibco CTS OpTmizer Pro Serum-Free Medium from January of this year, and the new closed automated cell processing system Gibco CTS Rotea System, along with applications and new information. We look forward to the participation of many individuals, from those engaged in CAR-T therapy development to those interested in regenerative medicine in general.

The second installment of the Food Analysis WEB Seminar Series focuses on food analysis using GC/MS, which is utilized not only for ensuring safety but also for odor research and comparisons with other products. Food analysis often requires addressing challenges that are difficult to analyze with conventional equipment, such as screening target components from complex matrices and comprehensive analysis for sample characteristic analysis. In this presentation, we will introduce the features of the GC-Orbitrap system, appropriate analytical methods, and case studies of food analysis tailored to customer needs to solve these challenges. This seminar series will showcase various applications in the food sector using different chromatography techniques (LC, LC/MS, GC/MS, IC/MS) for a wide range of analytical purposes. It will be particularly useful for those who feel restricted by existing methods or are aiming to improve operational efficiency, so we encourage you to tune in.

The third installment of the Food Analysis Webinar Series will feature a presentation by Mr. Noriyuki Tachibana from the Japan Food Inspection Foundation on "Simultaneous Analysis Method for Highly Polar Pesticides Using IC-HRMS." Many of the residue analysis methods for highly polar pesticides in our country were developed quite some time ago, often using environmentally harmful organic solvents or involving complicated pre-treatments such as derivatization and solid-phase extraction, requiring the use of different measurement instruments depending on the analysis items. To move away from such resource-intensive residue analysis, we will introduce a simultaneous analysis method for highly polar pesticides using the developed Ion Chromatography High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer (IC-HRMS). Don’t miss this valuable opportunity! In this seminar series, we will present application examples in the food sector using various chromatography techniques (LC, LC/MS, GC/MS, IC/MS) for a wide range of analytical purposes. This content will be particularly useful for those who feel limited by existing methods or are aiming to improve operational efficiency, so please be sure to watch.

The RoHS Directive is a European law concerning the regulation of chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. It specifies a wide range of substances, from inorganic to organic materials, as regulated items and establishes respective threshold values for each. When domestic companies export products related to electrical and electronic equipment to Europe and other regions, they must demonstrate that the content of all these items is below the threshold values. This e-learning will provide an overview of GC/MS analysis related to phthalate esters in accordance with the RoHS Directive, as well as solutions for improving operational efficiency using the Thermo Scientific Chromeleon 7 chromatography data system. Additionally, the latest information on effective verification methods for the additive TOTM, which affects the false positive results for DEHP, will also be introduced.

We are currently offering an on-demand version of the highly acclaimed "30-Minute Introduction to Data Integrity!" web seminar, which was well-received in 2019. This seminar provides a clear and concise explanation of the basic terms, key points, and practical examples of data integrity in a short amount of time. If you want to learn the fundamentals of data integrity, we encourage you to watch it. You can view it at your convenience, regardless of time or location. 【Program】 Topic 1: The Basics of Data Integrity Topic 2: Practical Examples of Effective Features of the Chromeleon Chromatography Data System for Data Integrity

We are pleased to announce that our e-learning program on Ion Chromatography (IC) has been renewed with new content and technical information. It has been transformed into an e-learning platform that meets our customers' needs, whether they are unable to attend seminars due to distance, want to learn casually in their spare time, or wish to review foundational knowledge they feel hesitant to ask about. IC is a widely used analytical method for analyzing ionic species across various fields and is a popular analytical technique. The IC content focuses on the fundamentals of analysis and detection methods, while the IC-MS content is organized by themes specific to different fields, allowing learners to study methods and applications tailored to their objectives. It is available for free, so please take advantage of it.
