They have become indispensable in cases requiring high-precision observation of microstructures, including everything from research and development to process control at production sites. In particular, the recent surge in AI-driven demand within the semiconductor market has accelerated development cycles and created a growing need for high-precision, high-throughput analysis using SEMs. This is driven by the requirement for faster innovation and precise dimensional control of devices with reduced feature sizes. In response, expectations are rising for the use of SEM to provide feedback in research and manufacturing processes through large-scale data analysis.Given these circumstances, Hitachi High-Tech has developed the SU9600. Building on the high precision and stable observation capabilities—characteristic of our existing high-resolution FE-SEMs(*2), we have developed automated imaging and data-handling workflows to help streamline observation by increasing throughput. The SU9600 can be used for a wide variety of observations in line with user needs including academic foundational research.(*2) Field Emission SEMMain Features of SU9600(1) High-Resolution, High-Precision Observation Powered by Hitachi’s Proprietary TechnologiesThe SU9600 includes Hitachi's proprietary CFE Electron Gun (Cold Field Emission Electron Gun) technology. The CFE Electron Gun enables the emission of a highly stable and luminous electron beam, meaning observation can begin immediately after the device is started up. This allows for long, continuous acquisition of sharp, high-contrast images with excellent S/N(*3). The SU9600's improved column structure has made the acquisition of even brighter and higher-precision images possible.(*3) S/N (Signal to Noise Ratio): Ratio of signal strength divided by noise intensity. Generally, the higher the S/N, the better.In addition, Hitachi's proprietary in-lens objective lens technology enhances its world-class resolution, enabling high-precision observation in this flagship model of Hitachi High-Tech's SEM lineup.Secondary Electron Resolution0.4nm (accelerating voltage 30 kV)1.0nm (accelerating voltage 1 kV)STEM Resolution*40.34nm (accelerating voltage 30 kV/ lattice image obtained using scanning transmission electron microscopy) (2) Custom Capture Modes to Suit User Needs through High Resolution and High ThroughputIn addition to providing increased versatility in terms of setting the electron beam scanning time, SU9600 also includes a Custom Reduced Scan function(*4), enabling users to select only their desired field of view for imaging.

HONG KONG, Oct 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The global energy transition presents an irreversible trend in the world today. Amidst this historic process, the energy storage industry is particularly critical in the construction of new power systems. Its exponential growth trajectory unequivocally declares it to be a “Golden Track” brimming with long-term potential. From an investment perspective, when selecting companies in the energy storage sector, leading players with high growth visibility and strong certainty are clearly the most worthwhile targets for current focus and monitoring. ZhiTong Finance believes that Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as “Hithium Energy Storage”), which recently filed its Application Proof for listing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), is a prime example.Founded in 2019, Hithium Energy Storage has achieved an extraordinary market position in just over five years. This is naturally reflected in its financial statements, where core financial data continues to trace a steep upward curve. For instance, building on a high base from last year, Hithium Energy Storage’s revenue reached RMB 6.971 billion in the first six months of this year, representing a massive year-on-year increase of 224.6%. Gross profit rapidly expanded from less than RMB 100 million in the same period last year to RMB 916 million, marking a robust year-on-year surge of 1073.4%. The net profit metric also underwent a simultaneous “qualitative change,” successfully turning profitable in the first half of the year with a profit of RMB 223 million.Even more noteworthy, Hithium Energy Storage's latest performance trend has released a strong value signal: its more profitable international business is powerfully “taking the baton” to become the new “locomotive” contributing incremental performance. In the first half of this year, the proportion of Hithium Energy Storage's international revenue surged to 17.5%, a “qualitative leap” compared to 3.3% in the same period last year. While the revenue weight increased significantly, the profit potential of the international business was also initially unlocked. It is estimated that Hithium Energy Storage's international business achieved a gross margin of 30.5% in the first half, a figure significantly higher than the 9.5% gross margin of its Chinese mainland business during the same period. The rapid scaling of Hithium Energy Storage's international business is largely due to its early and acute recognition of the importance of overseas markets, evidenced by its proactive establishment of a production base in Texas, USA, making it the first Chinese company to set up energy storage system production capacity in the United States. With the rapid expansion of its international business, it is reasonable to expect Hithium Energy Storage’s revenue scale and profitability metrics to continue growing rapidly.Cultivating Global Competitiveness Around Core StrategiesThe corporate history of Hithium Energy Storage can, in a way, be viewed as a classic example of the global offensive launched by Chinese manufacturing. Over the past few years, Hithium Energy Storage’s business volume has continuously climbed new steps. According to the company’s prospectus, the compound annual growth rate of Hithium Energy Storage’s ESS battery shipments reached 167% from 2022 to 2024. In the first six months of this year, Hithium Energy Storage's ESS battery shipments reached 30 GWh, with a year-on-year growth rate of 252.9%. Despite the high base, there is no sign of a “regression to the mean” in its shipment growth rate; instead, it has further accelerated.The secret behind the consistently rapid increase in Hithium Energy Storage's product shipments is likely embedded within the company's three core strategies. Focusing on energy storage is one of the company's core strategies. Placing Hithium Energy Storage within the industry perspective, this is clearly an “atypical” new energy technology company. The key feature of this “atypical” nature is that since its inception, the company has consistently focused solely on the energy storage sector, unlike other leading companies in the industry that disperse their focus across the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. It is likely due to this singular focus that Hithium Energy Storage is able to better understand the fundamental logic and core challenges of the industry. The continued realization of high growth expectations this year is undoubtedly closely linked to the company's unwavering focus on the energy storage domain, based on a deep understanding of the market.In an era where technological innovation is playing a decisive role in the global competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, any manufacturing enterprise aiming to break out must establish a leading edge in technology and product capabilities. By adhering to the core strategy of building competitive barriers through R&D and innovation, Hithium Energy Storage has consistently matched the vast and rapidly growing market demand with high-quality supply over the years. Data shows that Hithium Energy Storage's cumulative expenditure on R&D exceeded RMB 1.5 billion from 2022 to the first half of 2025. To date, the company has assembled an R&D team of over 1,030 professionals, with over 30% holding a master's degree or higher. This continuously growing R&D expense and powerful R&D talent pool provide the foundational support for Hithium Energy Storage to intensively launch innovative products.In terms of energy storage battery products, Hithium Energy Storage currently mainly offers 280Ah and 314Ah cells and has unveiled the ∞Cell 587Ah and ∞Cell 1175Ah ESS batteries. Furthermore, it has introduced the sodium-ion ESS battery with a cycle life exceeding 20,000 cycles. Protected by its strong core scientific and technological capabilities, the company has entered a vigorous new product cycle.For energy storage system products, Hithium Energy Storage provides all-round energy storage systems with leading capabilities that can be applied in power stations, grids, data centers, commercial and industrial, and residential scenarios. Current delivered products include the 5MWh liquid-cooling energy storage system. Last month, at RE+ 2025—the largest and most influential international solar and energy storage exhibition globally, held in Las Vegas, USA—Hithium Energy Storage unveiled energy storage solutions for AI Data Centers (AIDC), such as the ∞Power 6.25MWh 8h lithium-ion long-duration energy storage system.Its core R&D innovation strength has also provided crucial assistance for Hithium Energy Storage to achieve scaled production and extreme efficiency. It is reported that Hithium Energy Storage has continuously overcome technological bottlenecks and successfully iterated four generations of smart factories within the last three years, leading to a continuous decline in unit manufacturing costs over the past three years. Currently, the company’s fifth-generation factory is also under construction and is expected to commence operation next year. Combined with the explosive growth in Hithium Energy Storage’s shipment data, it is fair to say that “Hithium Smart Manufacturing” has become a reality. Furthermore, the prospectus reveals that the ∞Cell 587Ah, ∞Cell 1175Ah, and ∞Cell N162Ah ESS battery cell products, as well as the ∞Power 6.25 MWh 2h/4h ESS system product, are all expected to achieve mass production in the second half of the year, which will lead to a continued significant increase in Hithium Energy Storage’s shipments in the latter half of the year.How to Evaluate the Investment Value of an “Evolving” Energy Storage Leader?Looking across the global capital markets, star technology stocks in mainstream markets have generally been favored by capital this year. The clear dominance of the growth style is underpinned by emerging industries, including new energy, which are gradually becoming critical drivers stimulating current economic growth, thereby guiding market consensus and capital flows.Given Hithium Energy Storage's strong growth DNA, its consistent delivery on growth expectations over the past few years, and its high growth visibility for the future, it is anticipated that the company will become a highly sought-after “hot commodity” in the new stock market after its listing on the HKEX.Reviewing its historical performance, Hithium Energy Storage achieved a compound annual growth rate of 89% in revenue from 2022 to 2024. The gross profit margin significantly jumped from 11.3% in 2022 to 17.9% in 2024. Concurrently, the net profit metric achieved a historic turnaround in 2024, reaching RMB 288 million. Over the same period, the company's metric of total assets minus current liabilities also grew annually, increasing from RMB 718 million in 2022 to RMB 1.701 billion in 2024, indicating a continuously optimizing balance sheet. Building upon the high-performance base of 2024, Hithium Energy Storage's core financial data continued its rapid advance in the first half of this year, strongly fulfilling growth expectations.A detailed analysis shows that Hithium Energy Storage’s proactive adjustment of its business structure and market strategy is also a key reason for the leap in its financial data. In terms of business structure, the company continues to promote the development of businesses with higher added value. According to data from the prospectus, the revenue from energy storage systems accounted for 18.3% of total revenue in the first half of this year, a significant increase from 7.9% in the same period last year. From a profitability perspective, the gross margin for the ESS System business was 29.7% in the first half, notably higher than the 9.7% gross margin for the ESS Battery business. The rising weight of high-margin business clearly had a positive impact on increasing the company's profits.Regarding its market strategy, as stated at the beginning of the article, Hithium Energy Storage has achieved global operations covering the entire value chain, guided by its globalization strategy. In 2024, the company's international revenue ratio historically rose to 28.6%. In the first half of this year, Hithium Energy Storage's revenue scale and revenue contribution ratio in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and other countries and regions in Asia all significantly increased. All evidence indicates that Hithium Energy Storage's strategic move to establish advanced production capacity in the United States played an extremely critical role in the further scaling of the company's overall performance in the first half of this year. Currently, the company's strategy of building a diversified global market is accelerating in its effectiveness, and its reliance on any single regional market is significantly reduced.ZhiTong Finance believes that Hithium Energy Storage's track record has already proven it to be a company with deep growth DNA. Furthermore, considering the broad prospects of the energy storage sector and the company's long-term strategy of increasing its presence in international markets, the company's growth sustainability and visibility are excellent. Therefore, Hithium Energy Storage can be considered a high-potential stock in the energy storage field with significant long-term investment value. A company that aligns with market preference and investor expectations, upon its successful listing on the HKEX, is highly likely to be sought after by various capital sources.

HONG KONG, Oct 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – HighTide Therapeutics, Inc. (2511.HK), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of multifunctional, multi-targeted therapies for chronic metabolic diseases, announced positive 52-week safety and efficacy results from the open-label extension (OLE) phases of two Phase III trials (SYMPHONY-1 and SYMPHONY-2) evaluating HTD1801 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).The 52-week data from these two Phase III clinical trials demonstrate the durability of response and highlight the comprehensive long-term clinical benefits of HTD1801 in patients with T2DM. HighTide plans to submit a new drug application (NDA) for HTD1801 as a treatment for T2DM to the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) later this year.SYMPHONY-1 (NCT06350890) and SYMPHONY-2 (NCT06353347) are randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III clinical trials designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HTD1801 in adults with T2DM and inadequate glycemic control despite diet and exercise (SYMPHONY-1; N=408) or with Metformin (SYMPHONY-2; N=551). The primary endpoint in both studies was the change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline with HTD1801 compared to placebo after 24 weeks of treatment. Patients were eligible to continue in a 28-week OLE during which all patients received HTD1801; Durability of response across efficacy endpoints was evaluated based on the change from baseline to Week 52.Efficacy observed during the 24-week double-blind period was durable and maintained with longer-term treatment through 52 weeks in both studiesSYMPHONY-1 (HTD1801 as monotherapy): At week 24, the reduction from baseline in HbA1c with HTD1801 (-1.3%) was superior to placebo. HbA1c reductions were maintained in patients who continued receiving HTD1801 (-1.2% at Week 52). Placebo patients who switched to HTD1801 saw a reduction in HbA1c of -1.3% at Week 52, substantiating the double-blind phase findings.SYMPHONY-2 (HTD1801 as an add-on therapy to Metformin): At week 24, the reduction from baseline in HbA1c with HTD1801 (-1.2%) was superior to placebo. HbA1c reductions were sustained in patients who continued receiving HTD1801 (-1.1% at Week 52). Placebo patients who switched to HTD1801 saw a reduction in HbA1c of -1.2% at Week 52, also substantiating the double-blind phase findings.In both studies, the durability of effect on other cardiometabolic and renal endpoints was maintained at 52 weeks, suggesting comprehensive advantages of HTD1801 beyond glycemic control with long-term treatment.In both studies, the proportion of patients receiving HTD1801 during the double-blind phase who achieved target HbA1c<7.0% was sustained through Week 52. The lipid-lowering effects observed during the double-blind phase, including significant reductions in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), were also maintained. Long-term HTD1801 treatment also led to continued reductions in key inflammatory biomarkers, including gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), both associated with cardiovascular risk in patients with T2DM.Notably, while estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remained stable in the overall population, the improvement of eGFR in patients with mild renal impairment at Week 24 was preserved at Week 52. These data highlighting the potential renal benefit of HTD1801 will be presented at a forthcoming scientific meeting.Favorable safety and tolerability profileOverall, long-term safety and tolerability were favorable and consistent with the double-blind phase. The types and severity of AEs did not increase with continued HTD1801 treatment compared to newly initiated HTD1801 treatment.“The robust 52-week results from these trials reinforce that HTD1801 may represent a novel and truly differentiated therapeutic option for patients with T2DM,” said Dr. Linong Ji, Lead Principal Investigator, former Vice President of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), and Director of the Peking University Diabetes Center and the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism at Peking University People’s Hospital. “As a first-in-class new molecular entity, HTD1801 is an anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator (AIMM) with a dual mechanism of action, AMP kinase activation and NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition, distinct from existing therapies. Its unique profile is designed not only to lower blood glucose, but also to improve lipid metabolism, exert anti-inflammatory effects, and potentially enhance renal function, supporting its potential as a backbone therapy to address the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome by targeting the underlying drivers of diabetes and diabetes-related complications. In addition, the unique mechanism allows for potential of combination treatments”“We extend our deepest gratitude to the patients who participated in these pivotal studies,” said Dr. Liping Liu, Founder, Chairperson, and CEO of HighTide Therapeutics. “Given the progressive nature of T2DM, durability of effect is a key determinant of long-term therapeutic success. The sustained beneficial effects of HTD1801 on metabolic, inflammatory, and renal parameters help reduce the risk of both microvascular and macrovascular complications. We look forward to sharing results from our Phase III head-to-head study with dapagliflozin, and will continue to explore HTD1801’s potential to deliver patients with chronic metabolic diseases a truly comprehensive, long-term treatment solution.”About Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 589 million adults (ages 20-79) were living with diabetes in 2024, and this number is projected to grow to 853 million (representing 1 in 8 adults) by 2050, of these, around 90% are T2DM cases. China has the largest population of diabetes patients worldwide, estimated to be 148 million in 2024, and projected to grow to 168 million in 2050. Diabetes is a global societal burden leading to over 6 million deaths per year. To address this urgent challenge, there is a critical need for innovative therapies that can deliver comprehensive clinical benefits for patients worldwide.About HTD1801HTD1801 is a first-in-class new molecular entity that targets the residual risks underlying cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) diseases. It is an orally delivered, anti-inflammatory metabolic modulator (AIMM) that, as a single molecule, exerts a unique dual mechanism of action through activation of AMP Kinase and inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome, two complementary pathways that mitigate metabolic dysfunction. Multiple global clinical studies have demonstrated the comprehensive benefits of HTD1801, including improved insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, lipid lowering, renal protection, weight reduction, hepatic improvement, and anti-inflammatory effects. Collectively, these findings support the potential of HTD1801 to serve as a foundation therapy in CKM disease management. Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
