Nirrin Technologies and S.T. Japan Partner on Next-Gen Protein Quantitation Tech
Nirrin Technologies appointed S.T. Japan as its exclusive distribution partner for the TALOSTM protein quantitation system in Japan. The Japanese company will purchase a TALOS demonstration system, establishing local evaluation capabilities that will allow prospective customers throughout Japan to assess the technology using their own samples and workflows.
“Japan is one of the world’s leading centers for biopharmaceutical innovation and manufacturing,” according to Bryan Hassell, PhD, CEO of Nirrin Technologies. “S.T. Japan has built a strong reputation for helping customers adopt advanced analytical technologies through deep technical expertise and exceptional support.”
TALOS is designed to replace traditional variable pathlength UV workflows with a simpler fixed-path near-infrared measurement approach, noted Hassell. By directly measuring absorption from the peptide backbone, TALOS enables rapid protein quantitation across a wide concentration range without dilution, protein-specific calibration models, extinction coefficient determination, or manual pathlength adjustment, he explained.
“TALOS represents a unique advancement in protein quantitation, enabling rapid, consistent measurements with operational simplicity. These capabilities make it particularly well-suited for modern bioprocessing workflows, from early process development through GMP manufacturing,” said Takao Nakagawa, president, S. T. Japan. “As Japan’s biopharmaceutical industry continues to expand and evolve, TALOS has the potential to make a significant impact, driving efficiencies and reducing complexity across the drug development and manufacturing continuum.”
