We are now developing for testing new<br \/>\ncoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) antigens.<br \/>\nWe signed a research contract with Saitama Medical University (Moroyama-cho, Inuma-gun,<br \/>\nSaitama Prefecture) to conduct a verification test as &#8220;Verification the effectiveness of the<br \/>\nSARS-CoV2 antigen detection methods by the QCM method (*3).&#8221;<br \/>\nIn the future, we will make use of the results of the verification test to develop products as<br \/>\nsoon as possible.<br \/>\nThere are more than 20 million people worldwide infected with the new coronavirus, and<br \/>\nthere is no indication of convergence. In Japan, test using the PCR method that amplifies<br \/>\ngenes are commonly performed, but the process of amplifying genes may result in longer<br \/>\ntesting time and delays the appropriate treatment. Therefore, there is an increasing need for a<br \/>\nsimple and rapid test methods in clinical practice.<br \/>\nWe have been developing a portable size medical device based on \u201cNAPiCOS Lite\u201d, a small<br \/>\nQCM device sold as a laboratory device, with the aim of providing a simple, rapid, and highly<br \/>\naccurate test method. The QCM method detects the amount of molecular substances (pg\/mL<br \/>\nequivalent) (*4) in real time as a change in frequencies, and thus provides highly sensitive<br \/>\nanalytical results in a short time ranging from 5 to 10 minutes. In addition, since it is a simple<br \/>\ntest method to drip a reaction reagent which is a mixture of the sample and a pretreatment<br \/>\nsolution into the sensor inlet, and it is also possible to perform tests at small-scale clinics.<br \/>\nOur equipment and sensors using the QCM method are used as the above-mentioned<br \/>\n&#8220;NAPiCOS series&#8221; in research institutions, universities, companies, etc. in Japan, and are<br \/>\nmainly used in the biochemical research field. We will continue to contribute to the realization<br \/>\nof a safe, secure, and comfortable society by utilizing the knowledge of quartz crystal<br \/>\ntechnology developed in the our crystal device business.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nihon Dempa Kogyo Co., Ltd.
