Latest news from analytical laboratory, environment, chemistry, life sciences and quality control

• Nanopatterns of proteins detected by cryo-electron microscopy
  A team from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) used cryo electron microscopy to detect regular, two-dimensional structures in the form of Pascal triangles in a shock frozen protein material. The sampl...

• Biotechnological solutions for degradation and recycling of plastics
  Plastics are wonderful materials. They are extremely versatile and of almost eternal durability. But that also causes a problem. After around 100 years of plastic production, plastic particles are ...

• Project to reveal fate of tyre particles in the ocean
  A new study involving experts from Newcastle University aims to assess an until now hidden form of marine litter and show the effects it could have on our seas. Tyre particles are believed to trans...

• Environmentally friendly supercapacitors
  Similar to batteries, supercapacitors are suitable for the repeated storage of electrical energy. TU Graz researchers have presented a particularly safe and sustainable variant of such a supercapac...

• Microscopic studies of the interaction between particles and lung cells
  Tiny floating particles from polluted ambient air, known as particulate matter, represent a growing problem and a health risk for millions of people. An increased particulate matter pollution incre...

Technical Papers for Analytical Laboratories

• Triple Quad LC-MS for detection of luciferin-6'-p-nitrobenzyl ether - a footprint of peroxynitrite
  Peroxynitrite (ONOO^-), a highly reactive oxidizing and nitrating agent is generated via a spontaneous, diffusion-controlled reaction between nitric oxide (·NO) and superoxide radical anion (O^2·-). Peroxynitrite has been implicated as a key pathophysiological intermediate in various diseases, incl...

• Automatic Signal Region Detection in ¹H NMR Spectra Using Deep Learning
  Signal region detection is a routine task in NMR spectroscopy, however, it is one of the few processing steps that is typically performed manually. This is due to the fact that the method implemented in TopSpin to carry out this task automatically often requires fine-tuning of multiple parameters...

• Reliable and robust animal-component-free hMSC-BM expansion
  In the last decade, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have generated increasing scientific interest. Prior to their use as a powerful tool for research applications, hMSCs must be expanded without losing their phenotypic properties. This requires stable and completely defined hMSC culture s...
