The Japan Institute for the Control of Aging has conducted research into control of aging since its foundation under the doctrine of contributing health promotion. As a result, the institute succeeded in developing a DNA oxidative damage measuring kit, thus taking the lead for this field.
The institute now sells many products related to oxidative stress, and such products are utilized in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biochemistry, food sciences, etc. The institute also performs assay services utilizing its unique technologies. Preventive medicine and anti-aging are receiving increased attention with the advancement of aging society. In these areas, our Institute will contribute to realizing a healthy, long-lived society by developing and supplying research products.

Business of the institute
Develop, manufacture and sell biomarkers used for measuring oxidative stress and antioxidants.
Assay services using biomarkers, such as urine and blood sampling tests and food antioxidant assays.

The Japan Institute for the Control of Aging is engaged in the kit reagent business and assay service business.
In the kit reagent business, our Institute develops, manufactures, and sells research reagents used for measuring oxidative stress markers. In addition, our Institute's monoclonal antibodies and ELISA kits used for detecting products of oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species are highly evaluated by customers worldwide. The 8-OHdG Check (8-OHdG ELISA kit), the main product of the Institute, was awarded the Ikeda Special Prize of the Innovation Grand Prix in 1999 and a prize from the Minister of Science and Technology Agency in 2000.
In the assay service business, we conduct sample testing on urine and blood and perform antioxidant assays on foods based on the products we have developed and the analysis skills we have accumulated over many years. Interest in preventive medicine, anti-aging, and functional foods has increased in recent years. As a result, there have been growing number of requests from hospitals, universities, research institutes, food manufacturers, and medicine manufacturers all over Japan to analyze oxidative stress markers, aging-related hormones, and minerals.
