Platine, a brand born from a manufacturer of physical and chemical products, offers "more convenience and more fun" than ever before.

SANPLATEC has been involved in the development, manufacturing, and sales of plastic scientific instruments such as beakers and flasks as a pioneer in the industry. In 2012, the company launched "Platine" to address the concerns of female researchers in the industry that existing instruments are "too hard," "too heavy," or "too big".

Since its inception, Platine has created products that are lightweight, compact, and stylish, and has developed them while listening to the voices of its users. Platine has published a specialized catalog that includes not only products but also reading materials such as columns and roundtable discussions, and has been well received by many customers, including retailers.

Platine has now launched "Idea Lab," a service that allows researchers to post their ideas in real life, under the new brand concept of "More useful, more fun".

Your voice could change the experiment sites.　We provide new products through the Idea Lab

The "Idea Lab" is looking for products and ideas that can solve the problems of researchers.

Please register as a member from the special web page and post your ideas such as "problems you have when conducting research" or "something like this would be more convenient".

Ideas that receive many "likes" and ideas that are selected by our company will be considered for commercialization. We will also offer special prizes depending on the number and content of your ideas. Your voice may change the future of experimental fields.

We are planning to hold an award ceremony at the headquarters of SANPLATEC in December 2024.

We also plan to develop services that can be used as a place and platform for communication between researchers and researchers, researchers and dealers, and manufacturers, as well as social events at the showroom in our head office.

Comment from the person in charge

Mr. Doi, Deputy General Manager, Planning and Development Division

In the 12 years since the Platine brand was launched, we have produced many products that have been close to researchers.

Times have changed, and we feel that products need to be free from gender and age-related ideas. We look forward to the birth of new ideas from here.

Ms.Sumino, Deputy Director, Planning and Development Division / Biotechnical Advisor

I am sure you have many problems and concerns in your daily research.

Please feel free to take a look at our web page (like chatting during a lunch break).
