[7] ALTECH CO., LTD.

ALTECH CO., LTD.

We provide a wide variety of research assisting solutions by proposing a variety of scientific
instruments having cutting-edge technologies to our customers in the broad application
areas from academic primary research on laboratory basis to commercial applied research
aiming for production.
Further to our traditional business in the field of interfacial chemistry, we are also
developing a new business by giving unique product solutions to a wide range of relevant
other application fields such as bioengineering, medical/life sciences, next-generation
semiconductors, organic electronics, and environmental friendly solution development like
water engineering and regeneration, all of which are being highly expected to create new
markets through technological innovations in the coming future.
Here we are happy to introduce to you the following four product solutions as a method to
solve your problems that may come up in your day-to-day research life.
1. QCM-D, Soft Matter Interaction Analyzer Tool
In addition to normal QCM function of tracking a frequency (f), the Biolin Scientific’s QCM-D
measuring instrument has a function of tracking a dissipation factor (D), a great
technological leap from the conventional QCM measurement! It makes not only a simple
mass calculation from frequency, but by utilizing the measured D factors also provides you
with analytical information of physical property and structure of the films indicated as
thickness and viscoelasticity. Thanks to this unique special feature Biolin Scientific’s QCM-
D instrument has been regarded as a de-facto standard solution in the industry.
2. A new era for QCM-D ~QSense Omni ~
QSense Omni, the latest model in the QSense series, has been redesigned from the
previous models to be more stylish in its appearance and functionality. Cutting-edge
QSense Omni instrument that allows you to facility of easier data interpretation and a
shorter journey to trustworthy results in your lab. Omni offers you more flexibility in
configuration with its upgradability to more channels (maximum 4 channels). The latest
model Omni has two main benefits, The first one is improved operability with controlled
conditions. Basic operational tasks such as sensor mounting, sample injection, and fluidic
cleaning are now all automated and integrated. Clever automation features will minimize
the human resources as well as save time for hands-on preparation, leading as a result to
minimization of the total experiment time and cost. Secondly, QSense Omni provides
reliable and reproducible result. Omni has been designed to integrate the liquid flow path
into main unit to make the pathway between sample injector and sensor chamber shortest,
and thus minimizes the risk of cross-over effects and contamination to avoid data
discrepancies due to manual mounting and removal of sensors that occurred in
conventional models. In addition, the QSoft Omni software running  in the background
automatically checks quality and readiness of user’s experiment setup before starting the
measurement, and the user can anticipate and prepare well in advance to increase the
success rate of experiment. With these significant upgrades, Omni is expected to make
experiments easier to perform and more fruitful to let our customers be ensured to progress
their research with our innovative technology.
3. Langmuir-Blodget film fabrication instruments
Biolin Scientific's KSVNIMA trough series is a well-known Langmuir-Blodget (LB) film
fabrication instruments that has long occupied the position of global standard in the LB
trough industry. We are happy to support various research needs from our customers by
enabling film transfer to various size of substrates, from a piece of glass slide to 8-inch Si
wafer, and now even Roll-to-Roll film can be adapted by our solution.
4. Contact Angle and Surface Tension metrology tool
Biolin Scientific's Attension series is a versatile, high-end contact angle and surface tension

measurement solution that can be used for a variety of purposes from academic research
studies to everyday quality control routines. With our wide available options, Attension
makes not just a measurement of contact angle and surface tension alone but now also
supports other measuring items having difficulty with conventional methods, such as
captive bubble measurement (contact angle of bubble vs solid surface), wettability of
powders and a thin single fiber, sliding angle measurement, and also a support for
measuring tiny droplet of picolitre scale.
5. Multiparametric Surface Plasmon Resonance (MP-SPR) applied molecular interaction
analyzer
Multiparametric Surface Plasmon Resonance (MP-SPR) is a real-time, label-free, and
highly sensitive measuring technology that can monitor changes in the molecular structure
and physical properties of the film formed at both wet (solid-liquid) and dry (solid-air)
interfaces. It is typically known as an ideal analytical solution to studies of interactions
between extremely low molecules. However, beyond such conventional SPR applications
for drug discovery, we are happy to tell you MP-SPR now starts to cover a wide range of
other new application areas such as development of biocompatible materials,
nanoparticles, nano-cellulose, sensor development and many more!
