Special Program: Sample Quantification Experiments Workshop

Hands-on experiments with PiCOSCOPE absorbance spectrophotometer

USHIO Inc.

Why not use PiCOSCOPE, which can measure the concentration in solution in an instant?

PiCOSCOPE is a completely new absorbance spectrophotometer equipped with USHIO's patented technology, and is 1/10 the price and 1/10 the size of conventional instruments. A booth where visitors can experience experiments using this instrument will appear at the Science Castle! You can use this instrument for various researches such as concentration measurement of solution samples, colorimetric experiments, counting microorganisms and cells, and so on. This will surely be helpful in planning future experiments and new research themes. We look forward to your participation.

What is a "blue shark?"
～The Challenge of Long-Term Breeding of the Most Beautiful Sharks

Sendai Uminomori Aquarium

Sendai Uminomori Aquarium is taking on the challenge of long-term breeding and exhibition of blue sharks, which have rarely been bred in captivity anywhere in the world. The challenge of keeping blue sharks in captivity for long periods of time has been investigated and researched since before the aquarium opened, and efforts have been made to optimize transportation, tank environment, and other aspects of the aquarium. We believe that by keeping and exhibiting blue sharks, we can obtain information useful for resource conservation and the fishing industry, and that the information obtained can be correctly conveyed to as many visitors as possible, thereby raising awareness of the marine nature of Sanriku and other local Tohoku areas, the attractiveness of the species itself, and nature conservation. In this presentation, we will present our efforts for long-term breeding of blue sharks at Sendai Uminomori Aquarium and the results obtained from these efforts.
