This competition is hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and is intended to honor innovative and promising products, technologies, and services. In fiscal year 2019, the product and technology (venture technology) category received 64 applications, and THINKY was chosen to receive the Excellence Award that follows the Grand Award.
Nano Premixer PR-1, a new type of nano disperser, which uses patented dual-sonic technology
The Nano Premixer PR-1 was developed with an eye to meeting nano-materials researchers’ request to disperse nano-materials in a safe and well-reproducible manner. The Nano Premixer PR-1 solves the problems of reproducibility, variation, and contamination, which have so far been the issues in dispersion that uses an ultrasonic homogenizer or an ultrasonic bath.
