Skvělé hodnocení v rámci této platformy ukazuje potenciál CATRIN, potažmo celé univerzity, transformovat vědecké výsledky do produktů s vysokým komerčním potenciálem. Ocenění nezávislými experty poukazuje na vysokou míru připravenosti na trh, což je unikátní i v kontextu a konkurenci dalších excelentních projektů, které podporuje Evropská inovační rada,“ uvedl Jiří Navrátil, koordinátor transferu technologií CATRIN.Elektrodový materiál na bázi dusíkem obohaceného grafenu, dvojrozměrného materiálu tvořeného jedinou vrstvou uhlíku, vyvinuli vědci v Olomouci před sedmi lety. Jednalo se o výsledek prestižního projektu Evropské výzkumné rady Michala Otyepky, který se zaměřil na 2D chemii fluorografenu. V následujících letech vědci potvrdili velký potenciál materiálu pro ukládání elektrické energie zejména v superkondenzátorech, které jsou zajímavou alternativou k aktuálně nejvíce využívaným lithium-iontovým bateriím. Do vývoje prototypů superkondenzátorů, jež vykazují jedinečné vlastnosti, se odborníci z CATRIN pustili díky prestižnímu projektu Evropské inovační rady TRANS2DCHEM ve spolupráci s kolegy z Bar-Ilanovy univerzity v Izraeli a italské firmy ITELCOND. Dalším logickým krokem bylo rozhodnutí o založení spin-off společnosti Atomiver, která funguje od roku 2024.„Neustálý nárůst globální spotřeby energie a rozvoj elektronických zařízení vyvolává velkou poptávku po součástkách pro ukládání energie s vysokým výkonem a stabilitou. Náš elektrodový materiál je unikátní, protože posouvá stávající limity komerčně dostupných zařízení zejména v&nbsp;oblasti objemové hustoty energie. To je množství elektrické energie, které umí součástka uložit v&nbsp;určeném objemu. Náš materiál dovoluje až násobného zvýšení oproti stávajícím technologiím. Jeho zařazení do databáze Innovation Radar je pro nás povzbuzením pro další práci a dotažení technologie do výroby,“ uvedl jeden z autorů know-how a spoluvlastník spin-out společnosti Michal Otyepka. Materiál je chráněný několika mezinárodní patenty, které si licencovala firma Atomiver od Univerzity Palackého.„Superkondenzátory, jejichž součástí by v budoucnu mohl být i náš grafenový,materiál, mohou posloužit například k zajištění bezpečného provozu velkých datových center, sítí pro „internet věcí“, v dopravě, skladování energie v sítích, elektronice pro vesmírné aplikace či v implantovaných lékařských zařízeních,“ doplnila jedna z&nbsp;autorek know-how Veronika Šedajová.Význam technologie v&nbsp;minulosti podtrhlo přijetí společnosti Atomiver do akceleračního programu NATO DIANA, kam se dostalo pouze 74 společností z více než 2600 uchazečů. Společnost podpořila dotací i agentura CzechInvest v rámci programu Technologická inkubace. „Nyní intenzivně jednáme s&nbsp;investory, kteří mají o technologii velký zájem i proto, že vyvinutý elektrodový materiál lze dále používat v&nbsp;dalších odvětvích,“ doplňuje ředitel společnosti Atomiver Andrew Hladký.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://innovation-radar.ec.europa.eu/innovation/66621">Inovační radar</a> slouží jako nástroj pro investory, podnikatele i širokou veřejnost k objevování nových technologií.&nbsp;

Understanding the chemical stability of MXenes under realistic operating conditions is essential for their reliable use in ion separation and electrochemical systems.&nbsp;In this webinar, we highlight the application of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES, Agilent-5900) as a powerful analytical tool to quantitatively evaluate elemental evolution during MXene degradation.&nbsp;By tracking dissolved species in the solution, ICP-OES enables precise assessment of metal leaching and oxidation under pH and temperature control. Furthermore, we investigate the ion selectivity of Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene channels and their underlying physicochemical origins. We demonstrate that the interlayer spacing and surface chemistry critically regulate ion mobility, leading to pronounced Li+ selectivity among monovalent and multivalent ions. In these studies, ICP-OES 5900 serves as an indispensable analytical platform, helping us establish a fundamental basis for the application of MXenes in ion separation technologies.<blockquote>Presenter: Yuan Zhang (Research Assistant Professor, Drexel Nanomaterials Institute, Drexel University)Dr. Yuan Zhang is a Research Assistant Professor at the Drexel Nanomaterials Institute, Drexel University.

Renewable energy resources such as solar are promising complements to the combustion of fossil fuels. However, the intermittent and diurnal nature of sunlight necessitates economical and efficient energy storage technologies. A promising approach to both storing solar energy and generating combustible liquid fuels is driving the transformation of abundant energy-poor feedstocks (CO2, H2O) into energy-dense liquid fuels using energy from solar photons, known as “artificial photosynthesis.”&nbsp;One approach for artificial photosynthesis is to immobilize fuel-producing molecular catalysts onto light-absorbing semiconductor materials to create “hybrid photoelectrodes,” allowing for both the stability of heterogenous surfaces and the tunability of molecular catalysts. The Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels (CHASE) is a multi-institutional energy innovation hub which aims to advance hybrid photoelectrodes for the light-driven generation of liquid fuels from CO2 and H2O. A variety of chemical techniques, including sonochemical hydrosilylation, π-π stacking, and electrochemical grafting, are utilized to anchor ruthenium and rhenium molecular CO2-reduction catalysts to a silicon surface.&nbsp;To study the efficacy of these catalyst loading techniques, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (employing an Agilent 7850 ICP-MS) is leveraged to quantify catalyst surface coverage. Silicon samples are digested in an HNO3/HCl matrix to solubilize ruthenium and rhenium metal centers. As each anchored molecular catalyst contains one metal center, surface coverage estimates can be drawn by pairing ICP-MS data with the dimensions of the catalyst and the size of the silicon photoelectrode. From these data, key conclusions are drawn which correlate anchoring technique, reaction time, and silicon morphology to the loadings of these molecular catalysts. This information provides a guiding framework for next-generation designs of hybrid photoelectrodes.<blockquote>Presenter: Jillian L.

Laboratories are under growing pressure to handle increasing volumes of samples and data while operating under tighter regulatory inspection, all without compromising turnaround times or traceability. In this context, many organizations attempt to extend existing workflows and legacy tools, which can introduce inefficiencies, increase manual effort, and create compliance risks. At the same time, it is not always clear which digital solutions are best suited to address these challenges.This presentation illustrates how modern digital laboratory environments streamline routine activities by minimizing manual tasks and embedding compliance directly into everyday workflows. Drawing on a real-world use case, we show how automated capture of data from multiple sample measurements at the point of execution enables a continuous, sample-centric workflow.By removing manual interventions and paper-based processes, laboratories can improve efficiency and visibility, support faster and more reliable decision-making while remaining responsive to evolving customer demands.<h4>Learning Points</h4><ul><li>The role of different systems (LIMS, SDMS, ELN) within the digital lab landscape and how they differ from each other's</li><li>How WebLab manages laboratory operations from a sample perspective, enabling you to track every sample, stage, and next action across workflows</li><li>How automated data capture from connected instruments helps reduce errors, lower contamination risks, and accelerate sample processing</li><li>You will see, through a real-life example, how integrated digital workflows improve data quality, accelerate reporting, and increase operational efficiency</li></ul><h4>Who should attend</h4>Professionals working in small to mid‑sized laboratories, including:<ul><li>Directors and Managers of Analytical, QC, or Contract Labs</li><li>Lab Operations and QA/QC Leaders</li><li>Digitalization and IT at organizations transitioning from paper, Excel, or legacy systems to LIMS</li></ul><blockquote>Presenter: Peter Bellstedt, PhD (Director of Business Development and Product Manager at SciY)Peter studied Biochemistry at the University of Jena before completing a PhD on the structural characterization of a DNA repair protein using solution and solid-state NMR.

An accessory to make absolute specular measurements for specific angles has been available for decades. It's limitation is that it is not easily adaptable to measuring absolute reflectance at any given angle. The Cary 7000 with its unique accessory design has changed the difficulty of the measurement from being a limitation to one of ease. Adding the desire to measure both reflectance and transmission at the same angle increases the design problem which previously was dealt with by using two accessories, one for reflectance and one for transmission. This approach led to uncertainties in knowing the measurements were being made on the same spot. This presentation will look at the design of an absolute reflectance accessory along with the ease of use to be able to collect absolute specular measurements at nearly any user desired angles.<blockquote>Presenter: Scott Melis, PhD (Application Scientist, Agilent Technologies, Inc.)Scott Melis has a PHD in Physics from Georgetown University in Washington, DC and started with Agilent in 2021 as a Molecular Spectroscopy Application Scientist.

<h5>The Problem&nbsp;</h5>Most researchers developing LNPs are stuck in the shade with one-by-one LNP makers that either run costly single use consumables or need a whole extra run to clean the mixer and flowpath before pressing on with more formulations. They tie researchers to the lab bench, and often consume more reagents than you’d ideally want. At the end of the day, this means fewer samples processed, with more hands-on time and higher per experiment costs&nbsp;<h5>The Solution</h5>Sunscreen stops formulation labs from getting burnt by high costs, wasted reagents and laborious sample processing with 100% re-usable mixers and automated sample processing in a 96 well plate format. Using as little as 400 µL of sample per formulation and running a sample every 3-4 minutes, you get more formulations in less time from less material – all while you bask in the extra hours you thought you’d never get back.&nbsp;<h5>The Proof&nbsp;</h5>In this virtual seminar we’ll shed light on how Sunscreen’s automation enables fully hands-free LNP formulation, learn about the benefits of mixing LNPs with Sunnies, and check out the impact of Sunscreen vs one-by-one approaches.&nbsp;<blockquote>Presenter: Ben Knappett, PhD (Sr. Product Manager, The Sunny Suite, Unchained Labs)Ben Knappett is the Sr. Product Manager for the Sunny Suite, Unchained Labs’ automated microfluidic nanoparticle synthesis instruments, used primarily for LNP encapsulation in drug delivery, vaccines, and gene therapy applications.
