Dr. Ulfa’s Visit to BioChromato: Strengthening Research Collaboration with Japan’s Leading Universities
We are honored to highlight the journey of Dr. Siti Mariyah Ulfa, a distinguished researcher from Brawijaya University (UB) in Indonesia, who recently visited Japan for a significant academic collaboration between UB and Okayama University. Dr. Ulfa, who holds both a master’s and Ph.D. from Okayama University, used BioChromato’s Smart Evaporator™ during her tenure at Ritsumeikan University from 2019 to 2021. During her recent visit, she also engaged with BioChromato’s headquarters in Fujisawa City, sharing her experiences and learning about our latest innovations in laboratory evaporation technology.
After returning to Indonesia, Dr. Ulfa was interviewed by local media about her visit to Japan and the ongoing academic collaboration between UB and Okayama University. The full article, which covers her impressions of the visit and the joint research efforts, can be found here: Implementation of MoU between FMIPA UB and Okayama University.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Dr. Ulfa
BioChromato would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ulfa for her continued trust in our products. We are sincerely grateful for her ongoing connection with BioChromato, especially during her recent visit to Japan, where she explored our latest evaporation technology advancements. Dr. Ulfa also thought that BioChromato approaches technological development with freedom from constraints or limitations, fostering creative thinking and innovation.
She also mentioned that, upon returning to Indonesia, she was pleased to see the Smart Evaporator™ C1 exhibited at the conference and was glad to learn that it could be used in Indonesia. As a valued user, we look forward to supporting Dr. Ulfa in her future research endeavors and collaborations.
Joint Research and MoU Implementation with Okayama University
Dr. Ulfa’s visit was part of a broader academic mission under the ongoing Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at UB and Okayama University. Established in 2015, this collaboration continues to promote joint research and academic exchanges. Dr. Ulfa and her colleagues played a critical role in developing a course equivalency guide for the International Credit Transfer (ICT) program, enabling students from both institutions to exchange academic credits seamlessly.
In addition, Dr. Ulfa contributed to cutting-edge research in organic chemistry under the guidance of Prof. Hideki Okamoto. She worked on the synthesis of 3H-azepine, a compound widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The results from this groundbreaking study are set to be published in the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry, demonstrating the impact of international research collaboration.
A Memorable Visit to BioChromato’s Headquarters
As part of her visit to Japan, Dr. Ulfa was invited to our headquarters in Fujisawa City, where we had the pleasure of showcasing our latest innovations, including the Smart Evaporator™ Auto Multi 140, which can continuously concentrate up to 140 samples, including DMSO and DMF. This advanced evaporation technology offers significant improvements for laboratories handling high-throughput sample processing. We were delighted to exchange ideas on how our technologies can support her future research projects.
At BioChromato, we look forward to building and strengthening relationships with researchers like Dr. Ulfa, whose commitment to scientific discovery motivates us to continue innovating.
