We sell ceramic filter columns for the purification and high-purity refinement of fine chemicals, including pharmaceuticals. Our columns are used from chemical and pharmaceutical research through to manufacturing, delivering approximately five times the separation performance of conventional products to improve target-compound purity. They are reusable, enabling significant cost reduction, and can be deployed immediately by simply replacing existing disposable cartridges on current equipment. From Kyoto, we provide high-performance, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective purification technology to customers worldwide.
Aortic stenosis is a life-threatening condition in which the aortic valve becomes severely narrowed. With an aging population, the number of patients is expected to increase dramatically worldwide in the coming years. Although valve replacement has become widely adopted, many patients are either too frail to tolerate the procedure or lack access to specialized treatment centers. As a result, a significant treatment gap still remains. DIVE, the device we are developing, synchronizes balloon expansion with the heartbeat to gently open the narrowed aortic valve. Its key advantage is the minimal physical burden on the patient. Through this technology, we aim to provide a safe and accessible treatment option — and ultimately save as many lives as possible.

BEL actively promotes international collaboration with universities, research institutes, and industrial partners, aiming to advance materials innovation by integrating materials science with digital technologies such as data science and digital twin methodologies.
An Osaka University-spinoff startup enabling high-precision testing in a short time using proprietary immunoassay technology. Aiming to realize a society where anyone can easily access medical-grade testing.
By utilizing DNA as a functional organic material, we are developing a “DNA linker technology” that enables precise conjugation of antibodies with drugs and functional molecules, alongside related applications such as cell adhesion and enzyme-free nucleic acid detection. Our unique molecular design enhances the performance and multifunctionality of diverse materials, establishing foundational technologies for ADC drug development, 3D cell models, and diagnostic platforms. Furthermore, we expand these technologies into research support and collaborative R&D to accelerate industrial application and societal implementation.
