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

• Dust particles in space are mixed with ice
  The matter between the stars in a galaxy - called the interstellar medium - consists not only of gas, but also of a great deal of dust. At some point in time, stars and planets originated in such a...

• A new class of materials containing precious metals
  Precious metals such as platinum, palladium, gold, rhodium or iridium can be found in a variety of everyday products, for example in catalytic converters of cars, in mobile phones and laptops as we...

• News from the cell membrane
  The red mould Neurospora crassa belongs to the group of sac fungi and serves researchers as a common model organism that allows a comparatively simple analysis of genetic information and the functi...

• Laboratory study analyzes the toxicity of bioplastics and plant-based materials
  So-called "bioplastics" are marketed as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional, petroleum-based plastics. They can be made from renewable feedstock, might be bio-degradable or even...

• New NMR methods for analysing molecular structures in more detail
  Chemistry and structural biology use the standard methods of NMR spectroscopy (NMR = nuclear magnetic resonance) to examine the structure of molecules including large molecules like proteins in sol...

Technical Papers for Analytical Laboratories

• 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...

• Investigations on the influence of short-term microplastics exposure on soluble micropollutants in municipal wastewater treatment plants
  The water entering sewage treatment plants increasingly poses challenges for operators. More and more often, there is a growing amount of microplastic in rainwater and wastewater for example due to fibers in synthetic clothing such as fleece jackets, tire abrasion or due to the input from industr...
