• Sustainable synthesis method for N-Hydroxy modifications for pharmaceutical research
  A new highly selective and scalable electro-organic synthesis of novel benzo[e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine-1,1-dioxides which represent an important structural motif of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredien...
• Peptides on interstellar ice
  Peptides are organic compounds that play a crucial role in many biological processes, for example, as enzymes. A research team led by Dr Serge Krasnokutski from the Astrophysics Laboratory at the M...
• Eco-friendly textiles without PFAS
  Rain jackets, swimming trunks or upholstery fabrics: Textiles with water-repellent properties require chemical impregnation. Although fluorine-containing PFAS chemicals are effective, they are also...
• New strategy for assessing the applicability of chemical reactions
  Chemists often develop and optimise new chemical reactions using so-called model systems, i.e. simple, easily accessible substrates. They then use up to around 100 other substrates as examples to s...

Technical Papers for Analytical Laboratories

• Assessment of the Feasibility of 2- and 3-Layer Measurements by Means of LFA
  Determination of the thermal conductivity of multi-layer samples is a challenge not only for the measuring technology, but also for the operator. The Proteus® LFA soft- ware offers the possibility of measuring 2- and 3-layer samples. The analysis is carried out according to Hartmann [1] up to Pro...
• Comparison of the Cytotoxicity and Leaching Effects between different pipette tips
  A pipette and a pipette tip comprise a system which ensures precise results in any laboratory procedure involving liquid handling steps. Whereas the pipette can be used for years, the plastic tip belongs to the single-use consumables which contribute to laboratory waste, and which must be taken i...
• Identify and quantify different plastic compositions in the recycling stream
  Plastics are part of our daily life in various ways. While technical parts are typically used for many years, the vast majority of packaging items are only used for days or weeks. At the same time, packaging applications make up around 50 % of the plastic production. Since plastics have a poor bi...
