We conduct research on the development of brand-new CNT (carbon nanotube) biosensors featuring ultrahigh sensitivity, compact biosensors based on CNT-SET(carbon nanotube single electron transistor ).

Collaborative research with external research institutes for co-creation is carried out to accelerate progress.
Research on CNT biosensors was a joint collaboration with Osaka University and Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology under R&D program of NEDO.
Now, we have an own research laboratory at Tsukuba aria.

In the area of CNT biosensors research, we are attempting to establish a technology that allows the ultrasensitive measuring (so called “single molecule detection”) of biomolecules by applying the CNT single electron transistor to biosensors. This technology will open a new possibility for home physical check-ups and will contribute to preventive medicine and health management during recovery.
