Shimadzu × Tohoku University Supersulfide Life Science Co-creation Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A co-creation lab aiming to elucidate the properties of supersulfide molecules.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how supersulfide molecules work through mass spectrometry.
The Shimadzu × Tohoku University Supersulfide Life Science Co-creation Lab studies “supersulfide molecules,” in which multiple sulfur atoms are linked in a chain within a molecule.
Supersulfide molecules have been found to exert antioxidant and cell-protective effects in the body, and research on them is expected to be applied to the prevention and treatment of disease.
By combining Tohoku University's research on supersulfide molecules with Shimadzu's mass spectrometry technology, the lab aims to contribute to the development of drugs and foods that prevent aging.
The lab's website is published within Shimadzu's website.

*Illustrative imageMeasuring unstable supersulfide molecules
Supersulfide molecules are unstable and decompose or change quickly, which has made precise analysis difficult. The lab has developed technology to stabilize unstable molecules and established a quantitative mass spectrometry method using stable isotopes, enabling precise analysis.
*Illustrative imageSupersulfide omics and disease diagnosis
Supersulfide omics technology is revealing, for example, that supersulfide molecules are involved in the function of enzymes in cells and in stabilizing protein structures. Development of methods to diagnose and prevent diseases such as COVID-19 by analyzing exhaled breath is under way toward implementation in society.
