Open Innovation Program NeyeS by Shimadzu Diagnostics
- Open Innovation Program NeyeS by Shimadzu Diagnostics focuses on research related to regenerative medicine-related technologies, cell culture-related seeds, detection technologies, etc., in order to realize the transformations required for medical care for the sustainable development of society and people. We broadly recruit innovative and unique ideas and know-how from academic basic research to clinical research and testing, and search for and support buds useful for future medical care.
Agenda 2Sanitary Control
Cases
CompactDry “ Heavy Duty, Toughness ”
compliant with international standardization of food safety (international certifications)
- international certifications

unicef, WHO and others use CompactDry for the research of basic infrastructure (for daily life)in developing countries.
Nuclear decontamination in forests
The accidents of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which was caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, spread many radioactive materials to the environment. Decontamination in living area has been making progress step by step; however, decontamination in forests has been becoming difficult because of the bigger challenge of using heavy machinery than expected. We participate a demonstration experiment of adsorption of radioactive materials in forests with non-woven sheet in CompactDry as a simple method.
Contribution for prevent antimicrobial resistance by fully automated identification/susceptibility test system RAISUS®
Application to simple measurement for prevent infection from spreading at natural disasters
We promote the collaboration with national and city universities.
Developing a simple test of paralytic shellfish poison
In the case of the pre-shipment inspection of paralytic shellfish poison in production ocean areas, only mouse bioassay has been permitted as the official method; however, due to the guideline performed in 2015 of the risk management of shellfish poison, screening methods who meet certain standards become available.
We collaborate in addressing to develop a simple test kit of paralytic shellfish poison with National Research Institute of Fisheries Science. When the practical use starts, people can decide shipment on-site if available, and its cost will be much lower than the mouse bioassay. Because of the low analysis cost, you can increase analysis test numbers, and then more detailed risk management will be realized. From the above, segmentalized control area and early cancellation of shelving shipment are realized and increase of the catch is expected.
In the commissioned project of the Research of regulatory science for sustainable supply of the safety of agricultural and marine products of MAFF, we have been working, developing and evaluating the simple test kit to practical use.
