title: [Development of novel laboratory technology--Chairmen's introductory remarks].
abstract: The theme of the 58th annual meeting is, "Mission and Challenge of Laboratory Medicine". This symposium is named, "Development of Novel Laboratory Technology" and is held under the joint sponsorship of the Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry and the Japanese Electrophoresis Society. Both societies have superior skills at developing methodology and technology. The tools used in the lectures are a carbon nanotube sensor, immunochromatography, direct measurement using polyanions and detergents, epigenomic analysis and fluorescent two-dimensional electrophoresis. All of the lectures will be very helpful and interesting.
