Fully automated aseptic cell separation system from Mitsui Denki Seiki

Mitsui Denki Seiki (Noda City, Chiba Prefecture) has developed a fully automated aseptic cell separation system. It is characterized by the fact that it does not require human intervention and does not require facilities such as clean rooms. The device developed by Mitsui Denki Seiki draws blood or body fluids from an infusion bag directly into the main body using a large syringe without using test tubes, and separates it into multiple components to recover the desired components. The Niigata University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Engineering of Chiba University cooperated in the demonstration tests and the design, respectively. It is 325 mm wide, 430 mm high, and 385 mm deep, and weighs 26.3 kilograms. The company will continue to aggressively develop and sell its own products, aiming for a 50% share of its own products in the future. July 9, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

Other photographs show people sitting on the lotus bases, suggesting that these statues were a familiar and approachable presence to the common people. The tree in the background is a gingko tree said to be about 700 years old. The tree was designated as a Natural Asset of the City of Tokyo in 1930.
