First in Japan! Labs are available on an hourly basis!Japan's largest share lab "Turnkey Lab Kento" will open on April 1, 2022 (Friday)

You can start your research immediately with less initial investment! Open up a better future for life science research with three strengths!

Kyoto Research Park (KRP) "Turnkey Lab Kento" 3 strengths ◆ Lab with equipment compatible with P2 / BSL2 / Start research immediately with reduced initial investment ◆ Rental by hour, no lab management required / Can concentrate on research Advantageous environment and flexibility ◆ Kyoto Research Park Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shimokyo-ku, Kyoto City, President Shinya Ogawa) Below, we will be the first in Japan * 1 to use the lab space on an hourly basis, which is one of the largest share labs in Japan * 2 "Turnkey Lab Kento", on April 1, 2022 (Friday), Kita Osaka Health and Medical City ( It will open on the 4th floor of Kento Innovation Park NK Building (Location: 3-17 Senriokashinmachi, Settsu City, Osaka Prefecture) located in Kento * 3). This facility is a P2 * 4 / BSL2 * 5 compatible share lab with the concept of "the inspiration, immediate research." With the minimum necessary equipment and equipment for cell culture and gene analysis, you can start your research immediately with less initial investment. Experiment benches * 6 and equipment are rented on an hourly basis, and can be used at a reasonable price according to the frequency of use. In addition, the resident lab manager will handle facility management, etc., providing an environment where you can concentrate on your research. There is also a salon created for the purpose of exchange, and we plan to hold events such as exchange meetings and study sessions. With these strengths, "Turnkey Lab Kento" strives to help open up the future of life science research in Japan by creating an environment where researchers can easily conduct research and providing a place for researchers to interact with each other. I will continue. * 1. As of February 8, 2010 (according to our research) * 2. Share Lab is a new style laboratory that shares equipment, experimental equipment, and experimental space. * 3. Kento, which straddles Settsu City and Suita City in Osaka Prefecture, is an "international-class" medical cluster centered on the National Cardiovascular Research Center and the National Institute of Health and Nutrition (scheduled to move from Shinjuku, Tokyo by the end of the year). It is an area where efforts are being made with the aim of realizing. It is expected to develop as a new research and development base in the field of health and medical care by integrating open innovation created by co-creation of industry, academia, government and the private sector and health promotion of the town, where health and medical related companies are concentrated. * 4.P is an abbreviation for "Physical containment", which is an equipment standard to prevent genetically modified organisms from leaking to the outside. P2 refers to a category that can handle genetically modified organisms commonly used in biology. * 5. BSL is an abbreviation for "Biosafety level" and is a classification of laboratories that handle microorganisms and pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. BSL2 is a classification level that can handle substances that are pathogenic to humans or animals but are unlikely to cause serious disasters to livestock such as laboratories and other staff. * 6. The experimental bench is an experimental workbench. Three strengths of "Turnkey Lab Kento" ◆ Lab with equipment compatible with P2 / BSL2 / Start research immediately by suppressing initial investment ◆ Rental by hour, no need for lab management / Advantageous environment where you can concentrate on research Flexible ◆ Location near the city center where national research institutes and companies are concentrated / Promote joint research and exchanges, effective for recruitment ▼ P2 / BSL2-compatible laboratory with equipment / Start research immediately with reduced initial investment Cell culture and genes Since it is equipped with basic experimental equipment for analysis and has an experimental environment compatible with P2 / BSL2, it can significantly reduce the high initial investment such as equipment purchase and installation work compared to the case of self-maintenance. can do. In addition, the time required for complicated notification and installation work can be reduced, and research can be started immediately. ▼ Hourly rental, no lab management required / Flexible experiment bench and equipment rental by hour, even for limited use such as several hours a month, as much as possible We have a plan that can keep costs down. In addition, there is a private room with a key that can be used freely by multiple people, a salon where data organization and meetings can be held, etc., creating an environment that can meet various research needs. In addition, a lab manager who manages troublesome facilities and equipment such as reception, purchase of consumables, and equipment maintenance will be stationed on a daily basis to support daily research. ▼ Location near the city center where national research institutes and companies are concentrated / Promote joint research and exchanges, and are effective for recruitment. Is being promoted, and joint research bases and places to encourage exchanges are being established with the aim of creating a mechanism for creating collaboration inside and outside Kento one after another. Furthermore, because it is close to Shin-Osaka, it is easy to use for people in a wide area such as Kansai, and good transportation access is also advantageous for securing human resources. At "Turnkey Lab Kento," exchange meetings and exchange meetings will be held based on our diverse industry-academia-government network so that we can make the best use of the characteristics of the location and create a place where researchers can exchange useful information and opinions. We are planning to hold a study session. In the general experiment area, a wide range of experiments that do not use living organisms with a high degree of freedom can be performed, and in the P2 / BSL2 experiment area, experiments using genetically modified animal cells, stem cells, etc. are possible. The central area has reception desks, salons, meeting rooms, etc. The space is covered with glass and has a good view, giving a feeling of openness. Experiment benches, private rooms, and shared equipment are installed in each experiment area. At the salon in the central area, in addition to desk work and meetings with the outside, exchange meetings, study sessions, briefing sessions, etc. can be held. ■ Trigger for the establishment of "Turnkey Lab Kento" In Boston, USA, where the world's largest life science ecosystem is formed, universities, research institutes, major pharmaceutical companies are located and excellent human resources are concentrated, and BioLabs * 7 Incubation facilities such as Share Labs are full of entrepreneurs aiming for success. These facilities not only provide lab space, but also serve as a network hub that connects human resources, technology, and capital, contributing to the development of the life science industry. In Japan as well, life science is expected to be a leading industrial field in this century, and further research and development and strengthening of industrial competitiveness are being promoted. Although it is still a business format that is not well known in Japan, we will open "Turnkey Lab Kento" because we believe that share labs such as BioLabs will definitely be necessary for the future development of the life science industry. We have one of the largest lab-type rental floors as an urban research park, and have been supporting customers in setting up lab spaces for many years. In addition, Japan's largest healthcare field-specific English pitch event "HVC KYOTO" has been held every year since 2016 with JETRO, Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto City, Kyoto University, etc. In recent years, more than 300 participants have participated, and more than 20 start-up companies have taken the stage on the pitch, and the cumulative amount of funds raised through this event has reached over 15 billion yen based on the public information of domestic companies. At "Turnkey Lab Kento," we will create a life science ecosystem that includes Kento by providing a comfortable research environment that utilizes our many years of know-how and opportunities for collaboration and exchange that spreads inside and outside Kento. We will endeavor to play a part in this. * 7.
