On the other hand, they are difficult to break down which is causing problems, particularly in terms of water pollution as they accumulate in seawater and soil even after waste treatment. Furthermore, there are concerns that PFAS, which are not broken down and thus accumulate in the body as well as the environment, will be consumed in tap water, etc., leading to health issues in the future. However, the current method for detecting PFAS is complex and time-consuming, and improving efficiency of detection is challenging.</p> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>In this research, Hitachi High-Tech and Science Tokyo will explore methods to achieve simple and rapid detection of PFAS that may affect people's health. We aim to achieve efficient discovery and generation of peptides<sup>*2</sup> useful for PFAS detection through combining the peptide detection and identification technology from Science Tokyo with CI, Hitachi High-Tech's compound discovery support service using its proprietary database.</p> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>Through proof of concept work on this research, we will solve the challenges of detecting PFAS in order to provide safe tap water supplies and contribute to public health and safety.</p> </div>   <div class="hht-nc9-1"> <p> <em> *1 </em> <span>PFAS: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances</span> </p> <p> <em> *2 </em> <span>Peptide: A compound formed by two or more amino acids bound together. There are 20 natural amino acids, and there are many combinations of amino acids that make up peptides. We employ a method of discovering and designing peptides that interact with specific substances, and using them as sensors.</span> </p> </div>   <div class="hht-nc2-1-1"> <h2> Background to This Research </h2> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>Recently, health issues caused by PFAS in tap water have been reported, and various countries are working on regulating it. In Japan, policies on strengthening measures were fixed. For example, local governments and water companies may be required to conduct regular water quality inspections based on the law from 2026. Currently, PFAS are detected using liquid chromatograph mass spectrometers, but expertise is required for solvent extraction and concentration of target components, which requires several hours of pretreatment and measurement for a single analytical process.</p> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>With the frequency of PFAS detection expected to increase in the future, Hitachi High-Tech started research on simple and rapid PFAS detection in collaboration with Science Tokyo to improve the efficiency of PFAS detection.</p> </div>   <div class="hht-nc2-1-1"> <h2> Overview of This Research </h2> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>Professor Takeshi Serizawa and Associate Professor Toshiki Sawada of the Department of Chemical Science and Engineering, School of Materials and Chemical Technology at Science Tokyo have been researching peptides to identify small differences in the structures of synthetic polymers, such as resins and rubbers. By combining these with a compound structure discovery service based on Hitachi High-Tech's CI, we can efficiently discover peptides that interact with extremely low concentrations of PFAS, and continue to verify the simple and rapid detection of PFAS. We will also verify the use of peptides that interact with PFAS for PFAS removal purposes.</p> </div>   <div class="hht-nc2-1-1"> <h2> Future Outlook </h2> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>Hitachi High-Tech is committed to creating social and environmental value and providing solutions that contribute to solving social and customer issues, and is also focusing on developing technologies, creating new business and collaborating with partners that are essential to this aim. In this research with Science Tokyo, we will work toward solid results through proofs of concept and look forward to future commercialization, while continuing to contribute to building a sustainable society and improving people's quality of life.</p> </div>  <div class="hht-nc2-1-1"> <h2> About CI </h2> </div> <div class="hht-nc13-1-1-1-1"> <a href="/global/en/products/ict-solution/randd/ci/" class="hht-icon-arrow-next" > https://www.hitachi-hightech.com/global/en/products/ict-solution/randd/ci/ </a> </div>  <div class="hht-nc2-1-1"> <h2> About Institute of Science Tokyo </h2> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>Science Tokyo was established in October 2024, following the merger between Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), with the mission of "Advancing science and human wellbeing to create value for and with society."</p> </div>   <div class="hht-nc2-1-1"> <h2> About Hitachi High-Tech </h2> </div> <div class="hht-nc3-1-1"> <p>Hitachi High-Tech, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is engaged in activities in a broad range of fields, including manufacture and sales of clinical analyzers, biotechnology products, radiation therapy systems, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, analytical instruments, and analysis equipment.
