KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Bernama) -- Carterra Inc, a provider of innovative technologies designed to accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutic candidates, has launched its Carterra Vega High-Throughput Surface Plasmon Resonance (HT-SPR) instrument, the industry’s first 48-channel SPR platform.
According to Carterra in a statement, Vega delivers 12 times higher throughput compared with existing market-leading SPR systems, covering small molecule through large molecule discovery and development workflows.
“The Carterra Vega platform is a technological leap forward—a true step change. Faster hit discovery with 48 parallel channels means a quicker route to viable clinical candidates.
“Vega is the only platform of its kind, opening new possibilities for early discovery teams to reshape workflows and accelerate pipelines,” said Carterra Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Josh Eckman.
Previously, researchers had to trade off resolution for speed, limiting traditional SPR platforms to secondary screening roles. Vega enables primary screening of large molecular libraries with high-resolution binding, dramatically expanding what scientists can achieve.
Vega’s software configuration can screen over 20,000 small molecule interactions per day—compared with only a few thousand on conventional systems. Its flow cell design includes an internal reference and two binding locations per channel, supporting the broadest range of label-free SPR applications currently available.
The system’s speed, automation, and minimal sample consumption expand workflow flexibility across multiple applications and assay formats without operator intervention. An optional robotic module allows the instrument to operate unattended for days, further boosting throughput and efficiency.
Carterra’s HT-SPR portfolio has been adopted by all the top 20 largest pharmaceutical companies, major Contract Research Organizations and biotechs worldwide. Vega builds on this foundation, combining industry-leading sensitivity and throughput in a single platform.
The Vega platform made its debut at the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) Conference and Exhibition, held Feb 7 to 11, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Bitget Posts 45.5% Growth Rate Among Top Crypto Exchanges in 2025
VICTORIA, Seychelles, Feb 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange recorded a 45.5% year-over-year increase in trading volume growth and secured the #6 spot in global market share among centralized crypto exchanges at the close of 2025, according to the latest Market Share of Centralized Crypto Exchanges by Trading Volume report by CoinGecko.
The CoinGecko report, a widely referenced industry benchmark, ranks exchanges based on annual trading volume and share relative to the global centralized exchange landscape. Bitget’s 6.4% market share at the end of 2025 reflects significant momentum, driven by its innovative product suite. Bitget’s strong showing in this independent research highlights the exchange’s expanding footprint and competitive differentiation in the digital asset trading landscape.

These additions complemented Bitget’s core strengths in spot and derivatives liquidity, allowing traders to respond to macro events without leaving a crypto-native environment.
CoinGecko’s report positions Bitget’s performance within a broader trend of users gravitating toward platforms that combine depth, flexibility and resilience. As trading activity increasingly spans crypto, macro assets, and on-chain products, exchanges capable of supporting this convergence are capturing a growing share of market attention. As Bitget enters 2026, the company continues to build on its growth trajectory with an expanded product suite, enhanced trading infrastructure, and ongoing investments in community trust and platform reliability.

EXPEREO, CATO NETWORKS PARTNER TO REDEFINE ENTERPRISE NETWORKING LANDSCAPE
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 (Bernama) -- Expereo, a managed Network as a Service (NaaS) provider, and Cato Networks, a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) specialist, have announced a strategic collaboration at TechEx London to deliver a single-source, end-to-end networking and security solution for multinational enterprises.
The partnership combines Expereo’s global underlay connectivity with Cato Networks’ cloud-native SASE platform, creating an integrated proposition designed to help medium to large enterprises modernise their network and security architectures through one commercial and operational relationship.
The joint solution aims to remove the complexity associated with multi-vendor environments by offering enterprises a unified, cloud-native network and security stack that enables faster deployment, simplified operations and consistent performance across global locations.
“This collaboration is about eliminating complexity,” said Expereo Chief Marketing Officer, Noel Hamill in a statement, adding that the combined offering enables organisations to scale faster and operate more securely with a single platform and global partner.
Meanwhile, Cato Networks Area Vice President of Global Service Providers, Jason Pender said the partnership delivers a disruptive alternative to legacy Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and fragmented multi-vendor models, positioning the joint offering as a simpler and more global approach to secure enterprise networking.
Under the collaboration, customers will gain access to Cato’s global private backbone and more than 85 points of presence, alongside Expereo’s connectivity reach through partners in over 190 countries, enabling secure and consistent access worldwide.
The integrated roadmap also includes delivery via Expereo’s expereoOne digital platform, providing enterprises with real-time visibility, performance monitoring and continuous validation across underlay, overlay, cloud and security environments.
The combined solution will support lower latency and improved application performance through direct on-ramps into Cato’s backbone, while positioning enterprises to better support cloud adoption and emerging artificial intelligence-driven workloads.

Fushi Tech Powers Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks’ Digital Transformation with Integrated Mobile-First Ecosystem
SINGAPORE, Jan 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As a global provider of integrated AI and digital solutions for merchants, Fushi Tech today announced a strategic partnership with Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks, a globally recognized Taiwanese street food chain brand. Fushi Tech will design and deliver a fully integrated digital ecosystem for Shihlin, covering 43 outlets across Singapore and Malaysia. This collaboration marks another milestone in Fushi Tech’s mission to empower F&B brands to deliver seamless customers experience and streamline outlet operations with a next-generation digital solution, enabling brands to boost revenue and customer engagement.
Building a Unified Digital Foundation
Moving beyond fragmented point solutions, Shihlin has partnered with Fushi Tech to implement a fully integrated platform designed to unify operations and deepen customer engagement. Leveraging its AI techniques and customer service experience, Fushi Tech creates a solution integrating digital ordering, mobile app and its Fynix-branded CRM system, bridging offline food culture with modern mobile-first consumer behaviour. Key initiatives includes:
· Brand Native Mobile Application
A brand-aligned native app for iOS and Android that serves as the primary digital touchpoint, designed for scalability and seamless user experience that aligns with Shihlin's youthful identity.
· Integrated Digital Ordering System
A seamless in-app ordering solution enabling takeaway and dine-in/pickup options, featuring real-time menu synchronization across all outlets to reduce wait times and boost operational efficiency.
· Centralized Membership & Loyalty Program
A unified AI-driven digital membership platform spanning 24 outlets in Singapore and 19 outlets in Malaysia that drives customer retention and spending through points accumulation, tiered rewards, and personalized promotions.
· Data-Driven CRM & Insights Engine
An integrated customer intelligence system that transforms transaction data into actionable insights, enabling targeted marketing campaigns and laying the foundation for AI-powered personalization and future growth.
This cohesive ecosystem empowers merchants far beyond the advantage of operating convenience and user experience. When all systems are designed to work in harmony from the outset, operators gain deeper insights into customer behavior and maintain a real-time view of operations, which drives smarter business decisions.
Empowering F&B Brand with Better Experience and Data Insights
“Many brands add digital features piece by piece, but true transformation happens when everything connects,” said Johnson Tan, Vice President of Fushi Tech. “With Shihlin, we’re building more than an app—we’re creating a unified digital engine that turns every transaction into a deeper customer relationship. ”
Shihlin, famous for its authentic flavours and vibrancy of Taiwan’s night markets especially among younger, urban consumers, will leverage Fushi Tech’s platform to elevate customer engagement, drive repeat visits, and future-proof Shihlin’s omni-channel growth strategy across Southeast Asia.
Why Integration Matters for F&B Brands: Building Digital Competitiveness
The partnership underscores a shift in the F&B industry’s digital strategy: moving from isolated point solutions to interconnected ecosystems. Early digital adoption focused on adding features like online ordering or loyalty programs separately. Today, leading brands like Shihlin are seeking platforms where data flows freely, systems communicate natively, and the customer journey remains cohesive across all touchpoints.
With rising consumer expectations for experiences beyond the product, F&B brands possessing core digital competitiveness are poised to lead the market in the long run.
Fushi Tech’s one-stop integrated model is more consistent with the consumer behavioral patterns of the new generation, meeting the evolving needs of merchants, further validating that brands with digital operational capabilities will have the opportunity to capture greater market share.

| Vave Singapore team at launch event of Vave in Penang, Malaysia |
PENANG, Malaysia, Jan 29 (Bernama) -- Vave Singapore has launched in Penang with the first Pickleball “Playcation” sports event, introducing a new tournament format that combines competitive play with travel, family participation and community engagement.
The Playcation event, organised by Singapore-based Sports League, will take place on 30 and 31 January 2026 at D’Plazza Mall, Jalan Mahsuri, Bayan Baru. The tournament features 13 regional teams, and marks the debut of Vave in Penang.
The Best Family Sports Vacation
The Pickleball Playcation is more than a tournament—it is a fully curated family sports vacation, combining competition, leisure and cultural experiences for amateur athletes. Event experiences include local sightseeing tours around Penang, hotel accommodation and local transport, entry to all playing events, exclusive T-shirt and goodie bags for participants.
By blending competitive play with family-friendly travel and social engagement, the Pickleball Playcation reflects a growing trend in sports tourism across Asia. Organisers believe such events can strengthen Penang’s position as a host city for lifestyle-oriented sports events, while showcasing Malaysia’s readiness to support international pickleball competitions.
The event also coincides with Visit Malaysia 2026, a national tourism campaign to attract international visitors with diverse cultural experiences, focusing on family-friendly travel, sustainability, and showcasing Malaysia's unique heritage.
“This Playcation approach is designed to appeal to families, amateur athletes, and sports enthusiasts seeking an engaging and memorable travel experience in Penang while enjoying the excitement of competitive pickleball,” said Benny Gan from Vave.
Launch of Vave.Life Sports Platform
Additionally, the event will also mark the introduction of Vave, a mobile app and tournament management platform developed to support regional competitions, family-oriented sports travel and community events across Asia. The system allows participants to register for events, track match results, view rankings and maintain match history through a single integrated platform—professionalising amateur sports experiences while keeping them accessible and community-friendly.
Alongside the Pickleball Playcation, Vave will also support a table tennis tournament at the Penang Table Tennis Center from 31 January to 1 February 2026, demonstrating the platform’s versatility across different sports events.
