Mr.
Kenji Kitaoka Here to Introduce the ELISA Test Kits for
Environmental Pollutants from Takeda Chemical Industries
Ltd., Tokyo, Japan
We are honored to have Mr. Kenji Kitaoka with us from Takeda
Chemical Industries Ltd., Tokyo. Takeda has developed a
new line of ELISA technology test kits for industrial pollutants.
There are some of these kits specifically for detection
of surfactants in waste water and water for use as a raw
material. Mr. Kitaoka participated in the Environmental
Fate short course held prior to this AOCS conference. Dr.
David McCall of Master Chemical Products has agreed to help
us interface Mr. Kitaoka and interested parties regarding
these kits and their potential applications. Mr. Kitaoka
has additional literature for distribution and will be happy
to discuss this technology with you.
Testfabrics, Inc was introduced to Takeda and
Mr. Kitaoka by our Japanese sales associates, Nippon Shizai
of Osaka. Together with Nippon Shizai, we hope to be assisting
Takeda with the introduction and eventual distribution of
these kits to our clients involved in working with the environmental
aspects of their products.
