Jak kvalitní je svár nebo povrchová úprava mého nebo dodaného výrobku? Vznikl defekt chybným zacházením, nebo měl výrobek skrytou vadu materiálu? To jsou příklady otázek, které velmi rychle dokáže vyřešit tým univerzitního výzkumného ústavu CXI TUL. Pomoc při řešení konkrétních problémů ve výrobě, konzultace, analýzy a další služby špičkového vědeckého pracoviště za minimální náklady nabízí nyní firmám díky projektu SUPPORT4SME. Nabídka se týká malých a středních firem do 250 zaměstnanců z Libereckého, Ústeckého a Karlovarského kraje a také ze Saska.<h4>Podnik hradí pouze DPH</h4>„Řada menších firem má dobrý nápad nebo konkrétní technický problém, ale chybí jim přístup k potřebnému vybavení, expertům nebo laboratorním analýzám. Právě v tom jim může projekt SUPPORT4SME výrazně pomoci. Chceme, aby firmy věděly, že se na nás mohou obrátit i s velmi praktickými problémy z každodenní výroby nebo vývoje,“ říká řešitel projektu Adam Blažek z Ústavu pro nanomateriály, pokročilé technologie a inovace Technické univerzity v Liberci.&nbsp;Službu na míru si mohou firmy zadat na <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://support4sme.cxi.tul.cz/">online platformě projektu</a>. Pokud splní podmínky programu, hradí pouze DPH z reálné ceny služby. Investice do výzkumu tak pro malé a střední podniky přestává být významnou finanční překážkou.<h4>Analýza jako opora pro soudní spor</h4>Podporu projektu využila například stavební firma Tembo brand, která řešila prasklou hřídel čelního kloubového nakladače. Potřebovala zjistit, zda je příčinou chyba obsluhy, nebo vada samotného výrobku. Obrátila se proto na CXI.Detailní analýzy potvrdily výrobní vadu materiálu a staly se součástí oficiálního znaleckého posudku pro soudní řízení. Pro podobné případy má univerzita k dispozici elektronový mikroskop Helios 5 PFIB CXe, který umožňuje velmi podrobně zkoumat kvalitu materiálů, povrchové úpravy, slitiny, svary i další defekty. Mikroskop za více jak 45 milionů korun je unikátní tím, že vědci s ním mohou provádět i mikroskopické „řezy“ do zkoumaného materiálu a díky celé škále detektorů provádět komplexní fyzikální i chemickou analýzu složení vzorku.Firmě odborná analýza přinesla nejen vysvětlení příčiny problému, ale také silný podklad pro reklamaci a další právní kroky. „Buď bych tento stroj musel finančně náročně opravit, nebo bych s ním jezdil dál, což by pochopitelně představovalo bezpečnostní riziko nejen pro mě. Reklamaci teď máme prokázanou, dodavatel nám dodal zmetek a zřejmě se budeme soudit,“ popisuje Jakub Ševčík z firmy Tembo brand.<blockquote>Video: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5WXnKT2_tE&amp;t=2s">Špičkový mikroskop Helios pomáhá malým a středním firmám&nbsp;</a></blockquote><h4>Pomoc při vývoji běžkařských vosků</h4>Projekt SUPPORT4SME pomohl také firmě Titan Gliders, která na TUL našla odborné zázemí pro vývoj běžkařských vosků. Pomocí moderních analytických metod vědci zkoumají vlastní syntetizované přísady i konkurenční komerční vosky, a firma tak získává důležitá data pro další vývoj.&nbsp;„Spolupráce s CXI TUL se nám vyplatila jednoznačně. Víme přesně, kam napřít síly, bez takového zázemí bychom se jen těžko obešli. Navíc jsme díky tomu získali podporu českého biatlonu, Českého olympijského výboru i Libereckého kraje. Pro firmu, která začínala od nuly a byla financována z vlastních zdrojů, to má zásadní význam,“ říká Petr Tischer ze společnosti Titan Gliders.&nbsp;<h4>Pomoc, která firmám šetří peníze</h4>Projekt SUPPORT4SME nabízí tyto služby a množství dalších, také konzultace odbornic a odborníků, kteří disponují špičkovým laboratorním vybavením, a pomoc při řešení konkrétních technologických a materiálových problémů. Za cíl si klade podpořit v česko-saském regionu více než 130 podniků, zatím tyto služby využilo necelých třicet podniků.„Nejde jen o podporu velkých inovačních projektů. Často stačí vyřešit jeden konkrétní problém, ověřit vlastnosti materiálu nebo získat odborný pohled na technologický postup. I taková pomoc může firmě ušetřit čas, peníze a otevřít cestu k dalšímu rozvoji. Zástupci firem mnohdy ani netuší, že tu jsme a s&nbsp;čím vším jim můžeme pomoci. Přitom u nás mají k&nbsp;dispozici nejnovější přístrojové vybavení za naprosto zanedbatelné ceny. Ať firmy neváhají a obrátí se na nás s&nbsp;konkrétními dotazy, které je trápí nebo zajímají, “ uzavírá Adam Blažek.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/CXI_TUL_Firmy_mohou_ziskat_pomoc_spickovych_odborniku_z_TUL_za_hubicku_5ceaee370e.jpg" alt="CXI TUL: Firmy mohou získat pomoc špičkových odborníků z TUL „za hubičku“" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_CXI_TUL_Firmy_mohou_ziskat_pomoc_spickovych_odborniku_z_TUL_za_hubicku_5ceaee370e.jpg 234w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="683"><h3>SUPPORT4SME</h3>Projekt propojuje malé a střední podniky z Libereckého, Ústeckého a Karlovarského kraje a ze Saska s aplikovaným výzkumem.

<h4>Food Safety Webinar Series: When Food Meets the Lab</h4>Food testing in the region still revolves around “legacy” contaminants that decide release, rejection, and recall discussions - veterinary drug residues, pesticide residues and fumigants, and toxic elements including species-sensitive forms, in different food matrices. This 3-part series is built for audiences where regulatory expectations reference Codex-based frameworks, country-specific legislative guidelines, and import/export-market requirements that influence testing scope, reporting limits, and confirmation criteria. Each webinar focuses on the analytical factors that drive outcomes: matrix effects and co-extractives, trace-level quantitation, transition/ion-ratio checks, interference control, and reportable result logic.Keynote expert speakers will set the regulatory context, give a glimpse of the current trends, and future implications. Agilent workflow segments map these needs to sample preparation nuances, LC-MS/MS for multi-class residues, GC-MS/MS and headspace GC for residue/fumigant markers, and ICP-MS plus LC-ICP-MS for heavy metals and speciation, including QC structures and data review patterns used in high-throughput labs, to name a few.<h5>Webinar Series Details</h5><ul><li>Register once to attend the complete 3-part series</li><li>Submit your questions beforehand</li><li>Access recorded sessions anytime within one year</li><li>Certificate of attendance will be provided to all attendees</li></ul><h4>Part 3: Heavy Metals &amp; Speciation Edition</h4>Toxic element testing continues to be a core requirement due to national contaminant limits and trade-facing specifications for Pb, Cd, Hg, As and related elements. This webinar separates total-element panels from speciation cases where chemical form affects interpretation, particularly arsenic species in rice/cereal products and marine foods. The session covers digestion strategy, contamination control, reagent blank behavior, and trace-level drivers of data quality: polyatomic/isobaric interference removal, drift control, internal standards, calibration verification, and batch acceptance logic.

It is essential for understanding material behavior under conditions relevant to real-world applications, such as impacts in automotive and aerospace environments. In this work, we present experimental results from high strain rate nanoindentation of tungsten using the PI 89 PicoIndenter across a wide temperature range, including room, elevated, and cryogenic conditions.<h4>Nanomechanical Characterization of Nanoscale Composites</h4>Nanomechanical characterization using Bruker’s Hysitron instruments to elucidate deformation mechanisms in additive manufactured composite microstructures in binary model systems, such as Al-Si and Fe-Cu, will be presented. Direct-pull in-situ tension and micro-compression in a scanning electron microscope, integrated with postmortem scanning transmission electron microscopy and atomistic modeling are shown to be effective in the measurement of strength, strain hardening, and plastic deformability and fundamental understanding of novel dislocation mechanisms.&nbsp;<blockquote>Speaker:&nbsp;Amit Misra, Ph.D., Materials Science &amp; Engineering, University of MichiganProf. Amit Misra is the Edward DeMille Campbell Collegiate Professor of Materials Science &amp; Engineering (MSE) at the University of Michigan (UM), Ann Arbor.
