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.

Tangential flow filtration (TFF), also known as cross-flow filtration, is a rapid and efficient method for the separation and purification of biomolecules.
TFF can be used to concentrate sample solutions ranging in volumes from 10 mL to thousands of liters. It can also be used to fractionate large from small biomolecules, harvest cell suspensions and clarify fermentation broths and cell lysates.
Another major usage of TFF is to perform a process called diafiltration, a technique that uses ultrafiltration membranes to completely remove, replace or lower the concentration of salts or solvents from solutions containing proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and other biomolecules.
This webinar will explore the applications of diafiltration across immunology, protein chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry and biotechnology.

SCIEX: The truths, myths, and intricacies of testing mycotoxins

The truths, myths, and intricacies of testing mycotoxins

How Trilogy Analytical Laboratory relies on LC-MS/MS solutions to consistently test for mycotoxins across a multitude of commodities with speed and selectivity.

During this second session of a four-part ‘Fundamentals of Spectroscopy’ course, we will break down some common spectroscopic techniques (UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and Raman scattering amongst others), examine how they work at a relatively low level, and discuss what they can be used to learn in different situations. We will pay special attention to the historical developments of these techniques, particularly the scientific and economic motivations that drove the people who created and refined them.
Key learning objectives
<ul>
<li>Understand the concept of absorption spectroscopy, the design of an absorption spectrometer, and see how UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy can be used in quantifying protein concentration.
</li>
<li>Differentiate between the different types of luminescence, specifically photoluminescence vs. fluorescence and understand the basics of fluorescence and phosphorescence spectrometers. Become familiar with applications using time-resolved fluorescence, solvatochromic shifts and Förster resonance energy transfer.
</li>
<li>Learn the basics of Raman spectroscopy, and the design of a Raman spectrometer. Understand the units used in Raman spectroscopy and learn how Raman specificity can be used to measure various physical and chemical properties in materials.

SelectScience: Spectroscopy techniques in practice: Methods and motivations

Spectroscopy techniques in practice: Methods and motivations

We will break down UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and Raman scattering amongst others and examine how they work.

Cell line development scientists and upstream bioprocess engineers aim at optimizing biotherapeutics production processes to maximize drug product quality, yield, and manufacturing efficiency. Currently, information on critical process and product attributes required for informed decision making is often insufficient and not readily available. This has a negative impact on the process robustness, throughput, and outcome.
Direct measurement of cell culture media and product quality attributes (PQAs) has recently been offered thanks to the Waters BioAccord™ LC-MS system with dedicated workflows for process analytics of biopharmaceuticals. The BioAccord™ LC-MS can be directly coupled to multi parallel bioreactor systems, like the Sartorius Ambr® 15 or 250 HT platforms, for accelerated process development. 
With this integrated solution, process engineers have direct access to the information they need to be in control: drug substance quality and yield can be maximized, process and product related impurities minimized, and more robust processes can be developed, thereby de-risking batch failure. This ultimately results in accelerated drug product development and manufacturing release from months or weeks to days, saving time and resources but more importantly enable faster delivery of safer treatments to patients. 
Please join us as Magnus Wetterhall will present how Waters BioAccord™ LC-MS system offer enhanced capabilities for direct measurements of critical process and product quality attributes in cell line and process development and thereby enabling you to make more informed decisions with your own high-quality data.
