<p><strong>V roce 2025 jsme realizovali úplně první instalaci </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://gcms.cz/products/7"><strong>GC Agilent 990 Micro</strong></a><strong>. Nový plynový chromatograf na Oddělení environmentální chemie a Oddělení aplikované biologie Ústavu pro nanomateriály, pokročilé technologie a inovace (TUL) umožňuje detailně sledovat metabolismus vodíku u podzemních mikroorganismů a přesně kvantifikovat relevantní plyny, včetně primárních složek i jejich metabolitů.&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Detailní analýza permanentních plynů umožňuje zachytit dynamiku mikrobiálních procesů a zkoumat, za jakých podmínek a jak rychle dochází ke spotřebě vodíku. Díky <strong>vysoké citlivosti (jednotky ppm</strong>), možnosti měření na dvou kanálech s různými kolonami a různými nosnými plyny v jednom nástřiku a rychlosti analýzy chromatografu Agilent 990 (3minutové intervaly), získává pracoviště unikátní data pro modelování mikrobiálních interakcí. Výzkum je zásadní pro návrh bezpečných a efektivních řešení podzemního skladování vodíku.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Altium_International_Instalace_Agilent_990_Micro_na_Technicke_univerzite_v_Liberci_665294d009.jpg" alt="Altium International: Instalace Agilent 990 Micro na Technické univerzitě v Liberci" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Altium_International_Instalace_Agilent_990_Micro_na_Technicke_univerzite_v_Liberci_665294d009.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="605" height="340"></p><p>V laboratoři si cení <strong>prostorové, energetické a provozní úspory GC Agilent 990 Micro</strong> oproti klasickým stolním chromatografům. Pro výzkum je taktéž klíčová citlivost u TCD detektoru, který je o řád citlivějším než jeho větší ekvivalent. Micro GC je už v základní konstrukci z inertních materiálů a snese tak separace korozivních plynů jako jsou H<sub>2</sub>S nebo NH<sub>3</sub>. Navíc se jedná o bezúdržbový chromatograf, který nevyžaduje obměnu žádného spotřebního materiálu.</p><blockquote><p><strong>Pro další informace nás neváhejte kontaktovat:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Daniel Sander</strong> (Produktový specialista)</li><li>daniel.sander@altium.net &nbsp;</li></ul></blockquote>

<p><strong>Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS), provides a powerful and non-destructive approach for identifying materials without opening packages or containers. However, measurement success depends strongly on sample characteristics, container materials, and testing conditions. This webinar presents an experience-based overview of what SORS-enabled Raman spectroscopy can and cannot reliably measure using the Agilent Vaya Raman spectrometer as a representative platform. We will discuss classes of materials that are Raman-inactive or weak, samples prone to fluorescence or low signal, and common container materials that interfere with or block Raman measurements. Practical guidance will be provided on container thickness, color, and composition, as well as when black shielding or ambient light control is required. The session will help users quickly assess feasibility, set realistic expectations, and determine when Raman—or an alternative technique such as FTIR—is the appropriate analytical choice.</strong></p><blockquote><p><strong>Presenter: </strong>Yanqia Wang, PhD (Application Engineer, Molecular Spectroscopy, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)</p><p>Dr. Yanqia Wang started working for Agilent Technologies Inc. as a FTIR application Engineer in 2013, providing pre-&amp;post-sale application support.

<p><strong>Gas chromatography is a powerful tool for volatile and semi-volatile species in battery materials, but its application faces significant challenges. Many electrolyte components and degradation products are thermally labile or highly reactive, leading to on-column decomposition and poor quantification.</strong></p><p>Complex matrices, including salts and additives, cause adsorption, peak tailing, and column fouling, demanding frequent maintenance and careful selection of stationary phases.
