Nový grafenový inkoust pro výrobu levných a citlivých tištěných senzorů vyvinuli výzkumníci z CATRIN Univerzity Palackého ve spolupráci s kolegy z VŠB-Technické univerzity Ostrava a Univerzity Karlovy. Při přípravě inkoustu poprvé využili metodu atomárního inženýrství a díky navázaným atomům mědi jsou schopni detekovat velmi citlivě dopamin – neurotransmiter, který umožňuje přenos signálů mezi nervovými buňkami. Přístup <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.76796">představený v časopise Advanced Science</a> má velké šance uplatnit se v lékařské diagnostice.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CATRIN_Atom_po_atomu_Vedci_ukazali_novy_smer_v_lekarske_diagnostice_8a02ad6a66.webp" alt="CATRIN: Atom po atomu.

Jeho širšímu uplatnění v lékařské diagnostice však dosud bránil nedostatek atomárně upravených materiálů i absence na nich založených tisknutelných inkoustů.&nbsp;Nyní se vědcům podařilo vyvinout novou třídu atomárně dopovaných grafenových materiálů a také inkoust pro přípravu citlivých tištěných senzorů. Sázka na měď se vyplatila při detekci dopaminu, jehož sledování je důležité pro biomedicínský výzkum a vývoj pokročilých diagnostických technologií některých onemocnění včetně Alzheimerovy choroby.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CATRIN_Atom_po_atomu_Vedci_ukazali_novy_smer_v_lekarske_diagnostice_2_97e419f039.webp" alt="CATRIN: Atom po atomu.

Samotný senzor vyžaduje pouze 1,3 mikrogramu aktivního inkoustu, stojí přibližně jednu korunu a dával stabilní odezvu minimálně po dobu tří měsíců. Inkoust je navíc plně kompatibilní s běžně dostupnými inkoustovými materiálovými tiskárnami. To vytváří velký potenciál pro přípravu cenově dostupných, digitálně navržených senzorů, jejichž funkci lze přizpůsobovat atom po atomu,“ uvedl korespondující autor článku Michal Otyepka.Základem pro novou generaci atomárních inkoustů byla dusíkem dopovaná grafenová kyselina (NGA), kterou vědci z CATRIN vyvinuli před několika lety. Nyní ji postupně obohacovali různými jednotlivými atomy kovů včetně mědi, železa nebo manganu.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CATRIN_Atom_po_atomu_Vedci_ukazali_novy_smer_v_lekarske_diagnostice_3_c15d831792.webp" alt="CATRIN: Atom po atomu.

Zatímco atomy mědi výrazně zesilují signál dopaminu, ostatní kovy jej naopak potlačují. Rozhodující&nbsp;tedy není jen samotná přítomnost izolovaných atomů kovu, ale také to, o jaký konkrétní kov se jedná. To je velmi důležitý poznatek pro další vývoj biosenzorů,“ objasnil první autor Martin-Alex Nalepa.Publikované výsledky představují novou třídu senzorických materiálů s velkým potenciálem v lékařské diagnostice. Vědci nabízí obecně využitelnou platformu pro vývoj grafenových inkoustů s jednotlivými atomy kovů a otevírají cestu ke škálovatelné, reprodukovatelné a materiálově úsporné výrobě pokročilých elektrochemických senzorů. „Jsme na začátku a fascinují nás nové možnosti, které se před námi otevírají. Vidíme, že změnou typu atomů můžeme řídit citlivost a selektivitu senzoru. Kromě dopaminu tak umíme velmi přesně stanovit například imunoglobuliny – protilátky, jejichž množství a typ mohou být důležitým ukazatelem autoimunitních nebo infekčních onemocnění,“ zdůraznil další z autorů článku Radek Zbořil.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CATRIN_Atom_po_atomu_Vedci_ukazali_novy_smer_v_lekarske_diagnostice_4_273cd760a5.webp" alt="CATRIN: Atom po atomu.

Jejich klíčovou součástí jsou funkcionalizované elektrody, pro jejichž výrobu se ukázaly jako velmi vhodné materiály právě na bázi grafenu. Základem úspěchu olomouckých vědců byla cílená příprava grafenového inkoustu s potřebnými vlastnostmi.Výzkum podpořil projekt TECHSCALE z operačního programu Jan Amos Komenský.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CATRIN_Atom_po_atomu_Vedci_ukazali_novy_smer_v_lekarske_diagnostice_5_b1778f77f2.jpg" alt="CATRIN: Atom po atomu.

Have you fully exploited the potential of your analytical techniques in edible oil analysis? Our experts will reveal what you can achieve with CNSX-analysis, ICP-OES, AAS and UV/Vis in regulated standard analysis and beyond.
Price fluctuations, supply bottlenecks and export stops have highlighted in recent years how volatile and complex the supply chains of edible oils are. Exporters, importers and processors of edible oils face the challenges of rapid supplier qualification while achieving regulatory compliant, seamless, and efficient quality monitoring of their crude oil, intermediates and final products.
As agricultural products, edible oils are subject to natural quality fluctuations, while cultivation methods and long transport routes pose risks of contamination and oxidation. In addition, they go through a temperature- and additive-intensive process with the refinery, during which undesirable by-products can arise under certain circumstances.
Our webinar is aimed at industry, regulatory and contract laboratories involved in the analysis of edible oils. With combustion elemental analysis, ICP-OES, AAS and UV/Vis molecular spectroscopy, our experts will introduce four techniques which enable precise, efficient, and standard-compliant quality and process analysis of edible oils. They will also show you tips and tricks on how to exploit the additional potential for optimising your analytical workflows regarding the targeted and economic use of elaborate specific techniques.
Learn how to use these techniques for a variety of oils at different steps in the value and processing chain, and how to achieve optimal results and increase sample throughput.
Key learning points:
<ul>
<li>Explore how to carry out the comprehensive analysis of toxic elements, process inhibitors, catalyst poisons as well as the macro-mineral content with ICP-OES.
</li>
<li>Learn what combustion analysis can achieve in quality control and process monitoring, especially regarding the formation of unwanted compounds during refining.
</li>
<li>Discover how to streamline analytical workflows with quick screens for organic and inorganic Sulfur and Nitrogen as sum parameters with combustion analysis.
</li>
<li>Find out how to assess oxidation in oils via DOBI index, and how to monitor the efficiency of bleaching in refinery using UV/Vis spectrometry.

<h4>IMMUNOPEPTIDOMICS ON THE EVOSEP ONE – NEW LEVELS OF SAMPLE THROUGHPUT AND PRODUCTIVITY</h4>
Immunopeptidomics is the study of peptide antigens that are bound to and presented on the cell surface by molecules encoded by the Major Histocompatibility, a highly polymorphic region of the genome that encode molecules involved in immune responses. These peptides are derived from both intracellular and extracellular degradation of the parental proteins, generating a highly complex repertoire of peptide ligands, including peptides derived from pathogens, tissue specific and cancer specific antigens when relevant. In humans, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and class II molecules are of particular interest for immunopeptidomic analysis. These molecules are encoded by several loci and constitute thousands different alleles that vary between individuals. Thus, immunopeptidomes are highly individualized and almost impossible to accurately predict. This predicates the empirical measurement of the complexity and diversity of immunopeptidomes using mass spectrometry. Due to the relatively small amounts of material available for analysis the use of nanoflow LC-MS for immunopeptidome analysis is critical. Here I explore the implementation of the high throughput EvoSEP one platform couples to a Bruker timsTOF Pro 2 for robust analysis of immunopeptidomes across a variety of tissues and cell lines. Using the Whisper 20SPD method data quality and depth is maintained whilst sample carryover is negligible allowing more productive use of instrument time; I highlight significant improvements in throughput with over 1500 immunopeptidomes characterised in just 3 months.

<h4>MAPPS: High throughput immunopeptidomics for the assessment of the immunogenic potential of protein biotherapeutics</h4>
Biologics, mostly monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins, are a class of drugs used to treat some particularly difficult conditions. These proteins, when recognized as non-self by the immune system, can elicit unwanted immunogenicity. One of the first steps in this cascade is the presentation of fragments of this protein by MHC complexes on antigen presenting cells, which might ultimately lead to generation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). These ADAs can lower the therapeutic efficiency and can lead to severe immunogenic effects. To bring safe biotherapeutics to the market it is critical to thoroughly assess the immunogenic profile of a biotherapeutic. MAPPS (MHC associated peptides proteomics) assays are the method of choice to define all potential immunogenic regions of a protein. ImmuneSpec, an advanced immunopeptidomics platform, offers MAPPS as a service. Here we show how the combination of high-throughput MHC peptide purification, fast LC using EvoSep, and high sensitive MS addresses these needs.
