Postnova Analytics GmbH - Partner
Postnova is the inventor and leader in field-flow fractionation and an innovator in light scattering technology, offering instruments, software, and services used in laboratories of universities, institutions, and corporations worldwide. Its solutions are used to separate and to subsequently characterize micro- and nanoparticles as well as macromolecules by multiple physico-chemical properties.
The constantly growing range of applications includes life science, as well as material science, and environmental science.
Postnova's portfolio and expertise help its customers to develop and optimize products and production processes, to ensure product quality, to contribute to a safer and more sustainable environment, as well as to fight and cure diseases.
Institute of Water Chemistry, Chair of Analytical Chemistry and Water Chemistry - Partner
Technical University of Munich
The Chair of Analytical Chemistry and Water Chemistry at the TUM School of Natural Sciences, better known as the Institute of Water Chemistry (IWC), develops innovative and reliable methods for analysing (bio)chemical processes in complex systems. The areas of specialisation include laser, particle, surface and bioanalysis as well as substance-specific isotope analysis. The Raman & SEM group involved in the project has extensive expertise in Raman microspectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Supported by advanced separation and fractionation methods, in particular field flow fractionation, it establishes non-destructive analysis methods with a particular focus on automation and high-throughput analysis.
S&H Laboratory for Innovative Analytics OG - Partner
The core competence of the Laboratory for Innovative Analytics (LIA) is to support companies in establishing modern analytics directly according to customer requirements. Many modern methods, such as spectroscopy, are characterised by their simple, fast and non-destructive application. They are versatile and can be technically implemented in a flexible manner. With our expertise and know-how, we can bring analytical chemistry and physics processes up to the state of the art and/or develop and commission new analytical methods to solve the customer's problems and train employees. In the field of microplastics analysis in particular, we have an extensive network of expert scientists, equipment manufacturers and laboratories that we are happy to put in touch with our customers and help them to overcome new challenges such as the microplastics problem.
