The 2025 Science and Technology Awards Conference of the China National Textile and Apparel Council (hereinafter referred to as "CNTAC") was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The project titled "Key Technologies and Applications for Efficient Detection of Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, and Reproductive Toxic Substances in Textiles," submitted by the Hangzhou Institute of Metrology and Quality Science, Nantong University, Chromai (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., and other primary completing units, won the "Second Prize of CNTAC Science and Technology Progress Award" for its groundbreaking innovations. Mr. Zhao Furong, Chairman & CTO of Chromai, as one of the primary contributors, demonstrated the formidable power of "Created in China" with solid technological strength. The CNTAC Science and Technology Progress Award represents the pinnacle of China's textile science and technology field. This award not only highly affirms Chromai's innovative strength in textile detection technology but also highlights the company's leading role as an industry pioneer, empowering the high-quality development of the textile industry through technological breakthroughs.
Textile safety directly concerns the life and health of consumers, and the detection of carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxic substances has always been an industry pain point. Traditional detection technologies face issues such as cumbersome procedures, insufficient sensitivity, and long detection cycles, making it difficult to meet the efficient needs of safety control required by current industrial upgrades. The award-winning project precisely addresses this challenge, deeply integrating Chromai's core advantages in detection technology R&D with the rich experience of partner units in industry regulatory practices, successfully constructing a detection system. This system significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of detecting harmful substances, setting an industry benchmark for textile safety testing and building a robust "protective net" for consumer health.
Behind this honor lies Chromai's firm commitment to "revitalizing the national industry through independent innovation." Since its establishment in 2019, Chromai has consistently focused on the R&D of core technologies for analytical testing instruments, accumulating over 30 intellectual property rights, and was recognized as a "Beijing Intellectual Property Pilot Unit" in 2024. The company's core products, such as the Leaps series UHPLC system and the Frontier UHPLC system, have been widely used in textile testing, biopharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and other fields, providing precise solutions to various industries through technological innovation.
Mr. Zhao Furong, Chairman & CTO, as the leader of technological innovation at Chromai, has always adhered to the development philosophy of "technology first," leading the team to overcome one technical challenge after another. As noted by CNTAC, enterprises have become one of the main forces for technological innovation. This award-winning project is a vivid practice of Chromai's "Industry-University-Research-Application Collaborative Innovation" development model, driving industrial technology upgrades.
Crowned with glory, staying true to the original aspiration. In the future, Chromai will take this award as a new starting point, continue to focus on core technology innovation in analytical testing, consistently launch more competitive products and solutions, steadily advance on the path of safeguarding consumer safety and promoting high-quality industrial development, and let "Created in China" be renowned worldwide!
