Background to Noster’s Metabolome Analysis Service

Recent advances in biotechnology have led to the widespread use of comprehensive analytical methods including metabolome and metagenome. Among them, metabolome analysis can comprehensively detect metabolism, which is a chemical reaction essential for sustaining life. Comprehensive analysis of metabolites enables us to understand changes in the metabolic system in the body, leading to an understanding of life phenomena.

Noster has been focusing on gut microbial lipid metabolites for many years with the vision of “Connecting life & gut microbiome”, and in collaboration with Professor Jun Ogawa and Associate Professor Shigenobu Kishino of the Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University discovered that gut microbiota have a lipid metabolism pathway that is different from that of the host, and that dietary lipids produce unique lipid metabolites that cannot be produced by humans. Based on these findings Noster has built a comprehensive library of original lipid metabolites produced by gut microbiota.

Furthermore, a collaboration with Professor Makoto Arita of Keio University Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences (and RIKEN Center for Biomedical Sciences)— an internationally scientist renowned for his research on the development of lipid metabolome analysis technology—have enabled Noster to use its lipid library for the development of cutting edge mass spectroscopy technology capable of detecting specific gut microbial lipid metabolites.

Noster makes full use of this technology to provide state of the art Metabolome Analysis Service for exploring the properties of the still unexplored world of gut microbial metabolites. In addition to Metabolome Analysis Service, we also provide an Gut Microbiota Analysis Service, which can be used in combination to clarify the correlation between gut microbiota and metabolites.

Global Battery Alliance Unveils Results of Wave Two Battery Passport Pilots, Two CATL Programs Included

Published

on

By

NINGDE, China, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Global Battery Alliance (GBA) today successfully unveiled the results of the 2024 Battery Passport pilots during the Annual General Meeting, hosted in Shanghai and Ningde. Ten consortia, led by the world’s leading battery cell manufacturers, successfully completed the largest pre-competitive effort to establish harmonized battery passport. As a member of the GBA, CATL supported this initiative by leading two pilot projects for its Shenxing and CTP batteries, achieving a new milestone towards more transparent and sustainable battery value chains.

In January 2023, GBA published the world’s first battery passport proof of concept in Davos, Switzerland during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. Building on the successful launch in 2023, the consortia worked with seven digital solution providers to determine the provenance and flow of seven materials: lithium, graphite (artificial), aluminum, cobalt, copper, iron phosphate, and nickel.

Aligning with existing regulations and voluntary standards, seven rulebooks were developed through a multi-stakeholder process by the GBA, including Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Biodiversity, and Circular Design.

With separate passports for its Shenxing and CTP batteries, CATL was one of the first companies to share its results from the pilots with data verification by independent agencies. This achievement reaffirms CATL’s commitment to providing customers with sustainable and high-quality battery solutions. With an overall carbon footprint of 49 kgCO2eq/kwh across both pilots, CATL demonstrated its dedication to reducing emissions throughout the battery lifecycle. Furthermore, strong performance across all battery passport criteria highlights CATL’s commitment to transparency, traceability, and environmental responsibility. By prioritizing sustainability, CATL aims to deliver value to customers while contributing to a greener future.

CATL remains committed to the development of GBA battery passports as a tool to enhance product transparency, safety, and sustainability. This initiative aligns with CATL’s sustainable development vision, promoting transparency in product carbon footprint and ESG performance. By participating in the GBA battery passport development and advocacy, CATL aims to contribute to the establishment of global standards for battery industry sustainability, bridging regulatory gaps and fostering a greener future.

Beyond battery passports, CATL strives to actively contribute towards the development of industry standards and best practices. The company’s nine carbon-neutral factories and innovative tools like CCMS and CREDIT demonstrate its dedication to reducing its environmental footprint.

Commenting on the launch, Inga Petersen, Executive Director of the GBA said: “We are thrilled with the results of the 2024 Battery Passport pilots and congratulate all participating organisations for this major achievement. Having the world’s leading cell manufacturers mobilize their supply chains, work pre-competitively and report on harmonised sustainability expectations represents an unprecedented commitment to greater transparency and sustainability in the battery industry as captured in the 2030 GBA Vision.”

Jiang Li, Vice President and Board Secretary of CATL, said: “The future of the battery industry lies in collaborative efforts to ensure sustainability and circularity. CATL is proud to be at the forefront of these efforts. Through our participation in the Battery Passport initiative and our active engagement in the GBA, we are shaping a more sustainable future for the battery sector.”

In today’s healthcare landscape, staying at the forefront of medical technology is essential for providing high-quality patient care. Yet, budget constraints and high upfront costs can make this challenging for many hospitals, clinics, and specialized care facilities. Aulisa’s new leasing plans are designed to provide easy and flexible financing alternatives for healthcare facilities to acquire advanced Aulisa® Guardian Angel monitoring solutions without financial strain. By offering these options, Aulisa helps providers maintain optimal care standards while managing expenses more efficiently.

“Offering leasing options is a natural extension of our commitment to enhancing patient safety and supporting healthcare professionals,” said Augustine (Augie) Lien, founder and CEO of Aulisa Medical USA, Inc. “We want to remove the barriers that prevent facilities from accessing the tools they need to deliver exceptional care. By easing financial constraints, we empower providers to stay equipped with cutting-edge technology that can make a real difference in patient outcomes.”

Comprehensive Monitoring Solutions for Every Patient-care Setting
Aulisa’s Guardian Angel® CMPM (Centralized Multiple Patient Monitoring) System has set a high standard in patient monitoring by delivering real-time data on oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), and body temperature. Now available with flexible leasing options, this system provides unparalleled support to healthcare professionals who need to monitor multiple patients simultaneously, improving workflow efficiency and responsiveness in critical care settings like ICUs and NICUs.

Key Advantages of Leasing Equipment for Healthcare Facilities
Leasing Aulisa’s advanced monitoring systems presents numerous advantages that resonate with the needs of healthcare facilities. Monthly leasing plans allow institutions to allocate funds more efficiently by spreading out costs, avoiding significant upfront expenditures. This model provides financial predictability, as fixed rates prevent budget surprises and enable better long-term planning. Additionally, leasing offers the flexibility to upgrade equipment during the lease term, ensuring that facilities continue to benefit from the latest advancements without the burden of repurchasing.

The immediate access to new technology that leasing offers can enhance patient care significantly. Facilities can implement state-of-the-art monitoring systems quickly, supporting faster and more informed decision-making in patient treatment. Leasing also provides potential tax benefits, as lease payments may be deductible and can improve cash flow by preserving existing lines of credit for other critical investments.

Commitment to Innovation and Accessibility
Aulisa’s introduction of leasing options reaffirms its dedication to innovation and the accessibility of critical monitoring technology. From hospital ICUs and NICUs to specialized clinical settings, Aulisa’s FDA-cleared solutions are designed to ensure reliable, high-quality patient monitoring that healthcare providers can trust.
