(Tokyo-based Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) has been developing
\nNAPiCOS series (*1) of laboratory instruments based on the QCM method (*2) that uses quartz
\ncrystal as a sensors, which has been sold since 2010. We are now developing for testing new
\ncoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) antigens.
\nWe signed a research contract with Saitama Medical University (Moroyama-cho, Inuma-gun,
\nSaitama Prefecture) to conduct a verification test as “Verification the effectiveness of the
\nSARS-CoV2 antigen detection methods by the QCM method (*3).”
\nIn the future, we will make use of the results of the verification test to develop products as
\nsoon as possible.
\nThere are more than 20 million people worldwide infected with the new coronavirus, and
\nthere is no indication of convergence. In Japan, test using the PCR method that amplifies
\ngenes are commonly performed, but the process of amplifying genes may result in longer
\ntesting time and delays the appropriate treatment. Therefore, there is an increasing need for a
\nsimple and rapid test methods in clinical practice.
\nWe have been developing a portable size medical device based on \u201cNAPiCOS Lite\u201d, a small
\nQCM device sold as a laboratory device, with the aim of providing a simple, rapid, and highly
\naccurate test method. The QCM method detects the amount of molecular substances (pg\/mL
\nequivalent) (*4) in real time as a change in frequencies, and thus provides highly sensitive
\nanalytical results in a short time ranging from 5 to 10 minutes. In addition, since it is a simple
\ntest method to drip a reaction reagent which is a mixture of the sample and a pretreatment
\nsolution into the sensor inlet, and it is also possible to perform tests at small-scale clinics.
\nOur equipment and sensors using the QCM method are used as the above-mentioned
\n“NAPiCOS series” in research institutions, universities, companies, etc. in Japan, and are
\nmainly used in the biochemical research field. We will continue to contribute to the realization
\nof a safe, secure, and comfortable society by utilizing the knowledge of quartz crystal
\ntechnology developed in the our crystal device business.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
