Review of the Year 2023
/in Overview/by Dr. LetzelWe are very pleased that as a small company (now in its sixth year as a start-up), especially in 2023, we were able to research, publish, train and help partners (in their laboratory and in our laboratory) very extensively on our core topic of non-target screening, but also on instrumental analysis in chromatography (here in […]
Review of the Year 2022
/in Overview/by Dr. LetzelWe are very pleased that we -as a small company (now in its fifth year a start-up)- were in 2022 able to continuously research, publish, train and help partners (in their and in our laboratory) very extensively on on our core experience non-target screening as well as in chromatography and mass spectrometry. Furthermore, despite adverse […]
AFIN-TS Forum Issues 7 / 8
/in Unkategorisiert/by Dr. LetzelIn the two issues of the AFIN-TS Forum (AFIN-TS Forum 07 and AFIN-TS Forum 08 ) we take up our topic on ‘polarity-extended chromatography’ using RPLC-HILIC coupling. We summarize the applications and findings of a decade (AFIN-TS Forum 07) and present an optimized version for the nextdecade with the modules of our cooperation partner Thermo […]
Research Seal 2022/2023
/in Research news/by Dr. LetzelWe are pleased to be allowed carrying the research seal of the German Stifterverband in 2022 and 2023. Since 2014, the Stifterverband has been honouring research-based companies for their special responsibility for the state and society with the “Innovative through Research” seal. The Stifterverband is the joint initiative of companies and foundations that is the […]
AFIN-TS Forum Issue 6
/in AFIN-TS Forum, Partner, Publications, Research news/by Dr. BieberIn this issue of AFIN-TS Forum (AFIN-TS Forum 06) we present a sample preparation strategy for very salty samples for NTS analysis. In this study, four solid phase materials (SPE) were tested for their capabilities to reduce the salt content while retaining polar and very polar organic compounds. Two of the tested SPE phases showed […]
AFIN-TS Forum Issue 6
/in AFIN-TS Forum, Research news, Partner, Unkategorisiert, Publications/by Dr. BieberIn the new issue of the AFIN-TS Forum (AFIN-TS Forum 06) we present a sample preparation strategy for high-salt contenting samples for NTS analysis. In this study, four different solid phase materials (SPE) were investigated for their suitability for salt reduction while retaining polar and very polar organic compounds. Two of the tested SPE phases […]
End-of-the-Year Review 2021
/in Overview/by Dr. LetzelWe are very pleased that -as a start-up company in the fourth year- we were able to continue in 2021 extensive research on non-target screening, to publish, to educate and to organize conferences. At the same time, the requests for NTS analyses increased significantly from the industrial and analytical sector, so that many interesting new […]
Insight into current research projects
/in Partner, Publications, Research news/by Dr. LetzelNow you can get an insight into two of our research projects that have been running since the beginning of 2021,
RIKovery – a joint project in the BMBF funding measure WavE II
/in Press, Research news/by Dr. LetzelThe German BMBF promotes within the framework of ‘Water Technologies: Reuse’ (WavE II) thirteen joint projects and networking as well as transfer projects (see further in German https://bmbf-wave.de/ )
Seminar GC meets NTS
/in Communicate Science, Partner, Press, Seminars/by Dr. BieberAFIN-TS Forum Issue 5
/in AFIN-TS Forum, Partner, Publications, Research news/by Dr. BieberIn this issue of AFIN-TS Forum (AFIN-TS Forum 05) we present an option to couple three orthogonale separation techniques to an LC mass spectrometer, by using a DBDI ionisation source. This approach allows to analyze sample by GC, LC and SFC and to detect the analytes with the same mass spectrometer. This is very helpful […]
AFIN-TS Forum Issue 4
/in AFIN-TS Forum, Partner, Publications, Research news/by Dr. LetzelThe first issue of our AFIN-TS Forum in the year 2021 is published just in time with our current Workshop ‘GCmeetsNTS’, uses the GC modeller tool EZGC
NTS: An Analytical Goldmine
/in Communicate Science, Press, Publications, Research news/by Dr. BieberIn the July issue of the magazine The Analytical Scientist an interview with Dr. Stefan Bieber was published. Therein he talks about the chances and possibilities of Non-Target Screening in various disciplines. At the same time he descibes the concepts applied and consulted by AFIN-TS GmbH and the key challenges of the ‘unconventional’ start-up concept […]
New publication format – AFIN-TS Forum
/in AFIN-TS Forum, Education, Press, Publications, Research news/by Dr. BieberAs part of our (research) projects we develop frequently interesting applications and work with novel and fascinating techniques. In context of a dissemination of results from such projects we typically publish ‘open access’ in peer-reviewed journals as well as in non-peer reviewed journals.
