Gyeonggawon Expands Ultra-High-Speed Large-Capacity Bio Material Search Equipment

A researcher affiliated with the Gyeonggi-do Institute of Economic Science is conducting an inspection using the High-Speed Large-Capacity Material Screening System (HTS) equipment.

The Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency is expanding the introduction of advanced research equipment to enhance the research productivity of bio companies in the province.

On the 24th, the agency announced that through the Digital Biohealth Research Equipment Advancement Project, it has newly established the ‘Sample Processing Automation Device’ and the ‘Efficacy Evaluation System (FlexStation),’ which are core equipment of the ultra-high-speed large-capacity material screening (HTS) system.

The Sample Processing Automation Device is advanced equipment that automatically processes and analyzes various biological samples. It can screen 15,000 materials per day and over 200,000 materials per week.

The Efficacy Evaluation System is advanced analytical equipment that quickly and accurately evaluates the efficacy, safety, and functionality of new drug candidate substances.

This equipment is widely used in digital biohealth research fields such as ▲ultra-high-speed large-capacity functional material discovery ▲joint industry-academia-research demand technology ▲material development demonstration research ▲support for core medibio material technology development and commercialization.

The agency expects that with this advanced equipment upgrade, local companies and research institutions will be able to efficiently secure digital data and maximize research and development outcomes. An educational program for users of the equipment will be held on the 27th.

In addition, the agency is building and operating an ‘Ultra-High-Speed Large-Capacity Functional Material Discovery Platform’ that integrates a material bank, high-speed large-capacity material screening (HTS), image-based activity screening (HCS) system, and target-specific screening systems to support bio companies in the province lacking R&D infrastructure.

Kang Seong-cheon, head of the agency, stated, "The establishment of advanced equipment is a growth engine for bio companies," and added, "The agency will continue to expand support for the technological growth of bio companies."
