Support for contracted research and development in the industrial field

By combining our know-how in experimental techniques with the environmental analysis and measurement technologies we have cultivated over many years, we offer comprehensive support for experimental planning, equipment design and manufacturing, testing and research, performance evaluation, and other tasks with the aim of developing new technologies and resolving problems in the industrial field.

We provide consistent support for the following research and experiment tasks, from planning to evaluation.

  • Performance evaluation of adsorbents and catalysts for removing harmful substances
  • Testing for recovery and reuse of valuable materials
  • Laboratory tests related to the removal of radioactive Cs (cesium)
  • Exposure testing simulating the actual environment
  • Heating and pyrolysis experiments, etc.

Environmental biotechnology

We analyze microorganisms that are deeply involved in industry and the environment, and investigate the relationship between environmental conditions and microorganisms. We can inspect, test, and analyze a variety of microorganisms and environments, such as those listed below.

Microbial community structure analysis and microbial species identification

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis

We will conduct microbial community structure analysis using a next-generation sequencer (Illumina MiSeq system), as well as statistical analysis such as diversity analysis and ecological surveys of characteristic microorganisms.

Quantitative PCR (real-time PCR)

We perform comprehensive quantification of Eubacteria and Archaea, as well as quantification of specific bacteria such as nitrifying bacteria and methanogens. We also support the creation of quantification methods for desired microorganisms.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

The abundance and spatial distribution of specific bacteria, such as microorganisms attached to carriers, can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy.

Cloning analysis

We also support microbial community structure analysis using cloning methods, which allows for more accurate phylogenetic classification of dominant species than next-generation sequencing analysis.

Microbial Identification

We perform rapid identification of microorganisms using genetic analysis in accordance with the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, including identification of isolated bacteria (16S rRNA) and fungi (ITS).

  • General bacteria/heterotrophic bacteria
  • Total bacteria count (microscopic observation)
  • Coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, fecal coliform bacteria, O-157
  • Legionella spp.
  • Clostridium perfringens and anaerobic spore-forming bacteria
  • E. coli phage
  • Nitrifying bacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, iron bacteria, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, sulfate-reducing bacteria
  • Falling bacteria/airborne bacteria
  • Other bacterial tests based on official methods and literature

Various microbial tests

Tests will be carried out according to various test methods.

  • Disinfection effect test against bacteria and fungi
  • Antibacterial evaluation test/Antibacterial test
  • Minimum growth concentration (MIC)/minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) measurement
  • Nitrification and denitrification rate test
  • Biogas raw materials survey
  • Other various vial tests
Various microbial tests

Environmental DNA analysis

By analyzing DNA from organisms released into the environment (environmental DNA) using next-generation sequencers, we can understand the organisms present in that environment without having to capture and investigate individual organisms.
We conduct analysis in accordance with the standard "Environmental DNA Survey and Experiment Manual" created by the Environmental DNA Technology Standardization Committee of the Environmental DNA Society, and specialized technicians who are skilled in genetic analysis and biological surveys will examine the detected data and report the analysis results.
