Agreements reached under this partnership
Business alliance- 1
RMDC will receive cells and novel culture medium held by MEDIPOST and conduct culture compatibility assessments (demonstration testing) using the “culture robot” installed at RMDC's Amagasaki CPF (cell processing facility).
- 2
The parties will progressively optimize cell-seeding timing and conduct preliminary tests on the feasibility of cell culture (Phase 2).
- 3
Research results obtained through the demonstration testing will be used to optimize automated culture robots for promoting the automation of MEDIPOST's cell culture processing facilities.
- 4
Culture data and operation logs accumulated during the demonstration testing will be used by both companies as foundational data for optimizing the next-generation automated culture robot on which they are jointly working, and for developing “Physical AI” algorithms that reproduce the judgment of skilled technicians.
These are items that the documents state the two companies will work on. The lines above and below represent arrangements between the two companies.
The impact of this matter on the Company's consolidated results for the current fiscal year is expected to be minor.
