Punch Industries to Exhibit at INTERPHEX Week Tokyo 2026

Punch Industries Co., Ltd. is excited to announce its participation in the upcoming INTERPHEX Week Tokyo, set to take place from May 20th to May 22nd, 2026, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. This year marks the 28th edition of the event and the 10th Bio Pharmaceutical EXPO, a leading platform for showcasing innovations in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and regenerative medicine research and manufacturing.

At our booth, visitors will have the opportunity to experience live demonstrations of our cutting-edge automatic dispensing system developed by our group company, ASCe Co., Ltd. ASCe specializes in the design and development of factory automation (FA) and laboratory automation equipment. We invite everyone to visit our booth, as we aim to foster connections and share advancements in laboratory technology.

The Need for Laboratory Automation

Laboratory automation refers to the mechanization of tasks such as sample dispensing, cell culture, and data collection in research settings. Traditionally, many of these tasks are performed manually, leading to substantial workloads and variability in accuracy and precision among different operators. This inconsistency can introduce errors and hinder the efficiency of research processes.

Punch Industries is committed to promoting automation and labor-saving solutions in research and analysis environments, allowing researchers to focus on higher-level analysis and critical thinking tasks. Our extensive experience in FA design, coupled with our dedication to understanding client needs, enables us to propose optimal automation systems right from the early stages of project discussions.

Overview of Our Automatic Dispensing System

Our dispensing system automates the pre-treatment process when conducting analyses such as HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and colorimetric analysis. Dispensing involves extracting the necessary quantity of liquid or powder samples into separate containers, which can comprise nearly 60% of the manual lab work during experiments. With our custom-designed solutions, we bring a wealth of technical know-how and design innovation to cater to our clients' specific needs.

Features of Punch Industries’ Automatic Dispensing System

• - Automated recognition of various container lid shapes using camera technology.
• - Compatibility with different lid types, including insertion and screw types.
• - Contamination prevention through a movable water collection system that aligns with pipette movement.
• - Customizable modular options, such as barcode scanning and dilution functionalities, to suit client requirements.
