  • Explore the superior functions of materials by elucidating their active ingredients

    In order to identify active ingredients and analyze components, we use NMR, LC-MS, and SFC technology. We discover the active ingredient is discovered thorough separation and purification of each component, identifying its structure and measureing the concentration of the active ingredients.

    • Separation and purification of active ingredients (e.g., various carriers, HPLC)
    • Chemical structure analysis (NMR, LC-MS)
    • Analysis of active ingredients (e.g. SFC, LC-MS)
    有効成分解析
  • Adding New Value to Natural Materials

    Our bioresearch is heading toward discovering new ways of utilizing natural plants using enzymes and microorganisms and producing seedlings by plant culture technology. It is our goal to produce effective natural materials of stable quality.

    • Substance conversion using enzymes and microorganisms
    • Plant tissue culture
    バイオ研究
  • High validity ratings provide customers with peace of mind

    We use more than 100 kinds of evaluations to discover the natural efficacies of plants.
