Ačkoliv moderní zemědělství potřebuje vycházet z přesných dat o půdních, rostlinných i environmentálních podmínkách v reálném čase, cenově dostupná, dostatečně citlivá a zároveň robustní monitorovací zařízení pro tento účel v současné době chybí. Jako vhodné řešení se podle vědců nabízí nízkonákladové senzory založené na nových chytrých materiálech a technologiích tisku. Dosavadní výsledky multiioborového výzkumu i návrhy na vývoj těchto zařízení představili výzkumníci z Česka, Velké Británie, Španělska i USA v přehledovém článku v prestižním časopise <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-68778-6#Abs1">Nature Communications</a>.„Senzorické technologie pro monitorování zdraví rostlin jsou stále v plenkách. Na trhu jsou běžné dostupné jen jednoduché senzory, které jsou schopné monitorovat pouze základní parametry jako například pH, vlhkost v půdě, případně teplotu. Pokud však mají zemědělci čelit současným výzvám včetně klimatických změn a zajistit pro lidstvo dostatek potravy, potřebují mnohem účinnější pomocníky, jež jim umožní monitorovat například i různé patogeny včetně bakterií či plísní. Podle nás je vhodným řešením kombinace nových chytrých materiálů a tisku pro produkci levných, odolných a škálovatelných materiálů,“ uvedl první autor článku David Panáček z CATRIN, který na studii pracoval během své stáže v Imperial College London.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CATRIN_Soucasne_senzory_nestaci_Vedci_navrhuji_novou_cestu_ke_sledovani_zdravi_rostlin_b4014952a3.jpg" alt="CATRIN: David Panáček" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_CATRIN_Soucasne_senzory_nestaci_Vedci_navrhuji_novou_cestu_ke_sledovani_zdravi_rostlin_b4014952a3.jpg 208w," sizes="100vw" width="1536" height="1152">Senzory pro monitorování zdraví rostlin například v porovnání s podobnými zařízeními pro humánní medicínu pokulhávají. Klíčovou roli v možném posunu hraje podle autorů pokrok v materiálových vědách, jenž vývoj škálovatelných senzorových technologií umožní. „Tiskové techniky včetně inkoustového tisku, sítotisku, aerosolového tisku, 3D tisku a přímého laserového zápisu nabízejí flexibilní cesty k výrobě ohebných senzorů, senzorů pro velké plochy i senzorů integrovaných přímo do rostlin. Přehledový článek shrnuje nedávný pokrok v oblasti tisknutelných nízkorozměrných materiálů pro zemědělské senzory, analyzuje jejich fyzikálně-chemické vlastnosti ve vztahu k senzorovému výkonu a diskutuje hlavní výzvy a budoucí příležitosti vyžadující mezioborovou integraci,“ uvedl jeden z korespondujících autorů Michal Otyepka.Výzkum propojil materiálové vědce, chemiky, biology, odborníky na senzing i technologie tisku. Materiálový výzkum a využití chytrých materiálů na bázi grafenu zaštítili vědci CATRIN Univerzity Palackého a VŠB-Technické univerzity Ostrava, znalostmi o vývoji rostlin, jejich reakcích na stresové podmínky i monitorování jejich vlastností přispěli rostlinní biologové z CATRIN, o oblast elektroniky se postarali výzkumníci z Imperial College London, technologiím tisku se věnovali zástupci <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.cz/companies/36">CEITEC – VUT</a>. V týmu nechyběli ani přední odborníci na senzing z Katalánského institutu nanověd a nanotechnologií v Barceloně a svými bohatými znalostmi přispěl i „otec senzingu a elektrochemie“ Joseph Wang z University of California San Diego.„Jedná se o průlomovou studii na toto téma, k níž se podařilo přizvat skutečně velká jména v daných oborech. V neposlední řadě studie dokládá to, že interdisciplinarita v CATRIN dává vzniknout zcela novým a perspektivním výzkumným tématům, jako je rostlinný senzing a jeho využití pro studium interakce rostlin s prostředím a chytrém zemědělství,“ doplnila další z korespondenčních autorů Nuria De Diego. &nbsp;

Agilent Technologies: Agilent Virtual Dioxins Summit

Agilent Virtual Dioxins Summit

This one-day interactive online summit offers you valuable information for keeping up-to-date on the latest dioxin trends and developments in the field.

1,4-Dioxane is an industrial chemical contaminate that may be found at trace levels in consumer products. Government jurisdictions are beginning to regulate the amount of 1,4-dioxane allowed in consumer products. The allowable concentrations are expected to vary from state to state and country to country. Meanwhile, it has already been banned and deemed unsafe in cosmetics in Canada. There have been several methods developed to test for 1,4-dioxane, but none of these methods are adequate to detect 1,4-dioxane in consumer products with complex mixtures and solutions.
This study shows methodology for low level detection of 1,4-dioxane in consumer products including cosmetics, liquid soaps, shampoos, and cleaning products. The analysis was performed on an Agilent 7697A headspace sampler attached to an Agilent Intuvo 9000 GC with a 5977B MSD using MassHunter software and a PAL-3 Robotic Autosampler (SPME tool) attached to an Agilent 8890 GC with an Agilent 7000 MSD using Agilent Mass Hunter software

Giving you your first look at a brand new iGC product from Surface Measurement Systems, leading global expert of iGC Dr. Anett Kondor will explore brand new applications employing a high temperature oven. This hugely exciting webinar will offer a unique look at what’s in store for the future of iGC-SEA.
<blockquote>
Presenter: Dr. Anett Kondor, Surface Measurement Systems
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) is a rapid technique to determine thermodynamic parameters of gas–solid interactions and to characterize physicochemical properties of solid substrates. IGC offers its applicability where it is difficult and even impossible to characterize the surface of some forms of solids (powders and particulates) by means of other popular techniques as wetting method or FTIR. Solids and highly viscous liquids in many forms can be easily studied by means of IGC [1]. In this short presentation we will show three applications of IGC at high temperature and I will introduce the new IGC- SEA system with high temperature oven.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
First, adsorption isotherm data of several alkyl aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene) were measured in the temperature range of 423–523 K on a partially dealuminated faujasite type DAY F20 zeolite by inverse gas chromatography. The gas–solid equilibria and modelling were interpreted on the basis of the interfacial properties of the zeolite, by dispersive, specific and total surface energy heterogeneity profiles and distributions of the adsorbent measured by surface energy analysis.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Diffusion and mass transfer play a significant role in several materials processing operations. Diffusion and mass transfer are also of crucial importance in affecting the structure of solid products including segregation phenomena in castings and impurity distribution in crystal growth [2]. In the second study diffusion coefficients of cyclohexane and toluene on two catalyst samples measured at 523 °C and 573 K and the uncertainty in the measurement was also determined.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
In the last study, we investigated the thermal stability of anode and cathode materials by measuring the surface energetics at different temperatures, which is important during development of the battery materials, besides energy density, power density, lifetime, charging rate, cost and safety.

Agilent Technologies: Analysis of ETOX and 2-CE in various food products

Analysis of ETOX and 2-CE in various food products

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are mixtures of polychlorinated n-alkanes which have been used since the 1930s as plasticizers and additive flame retardants in a range of materials such as polyvinyl chloride, rubber, metal working fluids, adhesives, and lubricants. In recent years health concerns have emerged with evidence of bioaccumulation in aquatic species as well as toxic properties including endocrine disruption and neurological impairment. Chlorinated paraffins have also been detected in terrestrial species including man, with human exposure suspected to occur largely through the diet and unintentional ingestion of contaminated indoor dust.
This webinar provides an overview of two key instrumental approaches for the analysis of chlorinated paraffins and describes some of the major complexities and challenges facing analysts in developing reliable quantification strategies.
Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS) using electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) has been one of the most widely applied techniques for CP analysis due to the relatively simple and common instrumentation. GC/MS has been demonstrated to provide sensitive semi-quantification of the short and medium chain CPs (SCCPs and MCCPs, respectively), but has a limited capacity for long-chain CP (LCCP) acquisition and is unable to fully resolve homologue groups. Liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight (LC/Q-TOF) MS has been applied more recently for simultaneous analysis of SCCPs, MCCPs and LCCPs and provides significant advantages over GC/MS in its homologue resolving capabilities. Nevertheless, numerous challenges remain in achieving reliable quantification and unambiguous characterization of CP distribution.

Fruits and vegetables may contain pesticide residues due to agricultural practices or food preservation. Food safety control is needed and requires the use of chromatographic techniques coupled to mass spectrometry for complying with legal regulations.
A new analytical method is presented using the Phenomenex column ZB-5MSplus in a gas chromatographic system equipped with a Q-Exactive Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometer (GC-HRMS). The use of HRMS is increasingly being incorporated to routine work-flow laboratories because of its power to discriminate analytical information and capability to avoid matrix interferences. It also helps to evaluate the performance of the tested GC column.
A total of 268 pesticide residues were determined in one single shot but the characteristics of the detector used also allowed the retrospective analysis of non-target analytes.
