Disruptive thinking
Analytical results are the basis on which we make calculations and decisions, perform risk assessments, give recommendations, and identify problems. But what if our analytical tools aren’t efficient enough to protect us?

PhD defense no. 2
We may have 5-6 PhD defenses this year. As the second PhD student, Tamara Schreiner defended her cummulative dissertation on Non-target screening of emerging bioactive and hazardous compounds in complex matrices via multi-hyphenated techniques with summa cum laude in March!
The developed 8D to 12D hyphenated non-target screening strategies proved to be an excellent analytical tool for the characterization of new bioactive compounds from complex samples. The more information can be obtained in an analysis, the more accurately an unknown bioactive compound (= most important among the thousands of compounds present in a complex sample) can be characterized. The newly developed multidimensional workflows are applicable in both routine and research settings. They substantially complement current food analysis and are likely to significantly advance food safety and improve consumer safety.

Finally, in the lecture hall, concentration was very high on making the right decisions, which we discussed.
Very sad and unexpected, as I always had the feeling that such a strong woman will stay on earth forever.... We lose an active and extremely productive scientist in our midst, a highly treasured companion in our world of science. Intellectually always on the move, she was a hardworking and dedicated "chromatographer" whose heart beat for planar chromatography. She was a very good female role model in the scientific community. Teresa was not only active in the Department of General Chemistry and Chromatography at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, but has also been one of the founders of the annual chromatographic symposium since 1977. She (co-)organized 42(!) symposia for Chromatographic Methods of Investigating the Organic Compounds in Katowice and surrounding areas with great dedication. She had a warm, hands-on, motherly nature and a winning smile, often garnished with a touch of a nice irony and winking eye. She always had an opinion or point of view. Discussions with her were entertaining and never long enough, and scientifically, she always made a constructive contribution. It is a great honor to have known her and to have her in our midst, although she left us too early, aged 76. We will remember her very fondly. She will remain in our hearts (and thus on earth) forever.
TLC Book
Again our CHROMarts about anthycyane and lactose-free dairy product analyses on the cover of the newest TLC book of Colin Poole. We were asked to contribute with two book chapters, which we wrote with pleasure!

PhD defense no. 1
The new year comes with joy: mid of January, Stefanie Kruse has brilliantly defended her cummulative dissertation Development and comparison of standardized bacterial metabolite profiles by hyphenated planar chromatography for characterization of feed additives and probiotic feeds, which was evaluated as summa cum laude!
The quantification of added probiotics (very specific bacterial strain) in the complex animal feed matrix has succeeded via specific/selective metabolites! She found the needle in the haystack. The better the analytics, the more we understand relationships and gain new knowledge and insights. It is therefore important to constantly reconsider prevailing analytical strategies or to develop new strategies.

Doktorandenseminar
Gleich durchstarten! Kaum ausgekatert (Silvester), schon kommt der erste Vortrag 2LabsToGo - HPTLC für alle nach nicht einmal einem Jahr Promotionsforschung auf dem 33. Doktorandenseminar des Arbeitskreises Separation Science vom 8.-10.1.2023 im Hessen Hotelpark Hohenroda. Kevin Jakob hat es prima gemeistert! Join us in 2024!
More than 1100 scientific contributions give HPTLC a voice
We study the power of hyphenated HPTLC, independently in a non-profit way, as it is our fundamental task as a scientist and researcher at academia. We solve severe challenges and provide advise. Our vision is to produce edge science taking the metro! HPTLC is a highly sustainable separation technique, too. Nothing new, but more in the trend now.
- More than 100 guest researchers from over 27 countries joined our group
- About 25 doctorial students trained in HPTLC
- 1600 multiplicator students a year
- Over 100 projects with other academic groups and industries
- Council member of iFZ Research Centre for Biosystems, Land Use and Nutrition
- Mitglied im Zentrum für Nachhaltige Ernährungssysteme (Centre for Sustainable Nutritional Systems)
Wenn's alte Jahr erfolgreich war, dann freue dich aufs neue.
Und war es schlecht, ja dann erst recht.
