🌍🔬 Nuestra especialista en Py-GC/MS, Encarni, ha participado esta semana en #PYRO2026 en Pisa 🇮🇹, presentando el trabajo desarrollado en QAC para la determinación de microplásticos en suelos y agua de mar. ¡Enhorabuena, Encarni! 👏 #PyGCMS #Microplastics #QAC

Scientists don't have time to ask themselves hard questions! The brain #microplastic paper is a joke: Fat makes false positive PE - see missing high m/z ions in PyGCMS. The brain has ~60% fat, and liver has ~5%, so that is why ~10x more "plastics" there. doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-0…

2/2 But Table S9 says only 2-4% of that pellet is polythene (PE). That would be more like 0.05% of cortex. I may be misreading, and certainly don't understand limitations of pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry #PyGCMS. Check back when published, I think.

残業で9時に帰宅。明日締め切りの報告書、肝のMALDIとRx-PyGCMSの結果を今日中に書き上げた。あとはNMRとIRはなんとかなるだろう。これが終わっても月報を作らなきゃならない。今日は寝不足の割によく頑張った。疲れたのでコンビニ弁当、休肝日。

Had the privilege of being hosted by the @ChelseaRochman lab this month in Toronto. With tremendous help from @HermabessiereL we used pyGCMS and Raman spec to investigate #microplastics in marine mammals. Stay tuned for what we learned!

Absolutely delighted that I can finally share this paper! Had a fantastic time working with my colleagues @Jenny_Conserv and Margaret-Ashley Veall on this #heritagesicence #modernmaterials #plastics #conservation #PyGCMS #DIPGCMS sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

PyGCMS is interesting, a better microscope allowing us to investigate blood at higher resolution: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

📣Our new paper available at #soil & #tillage research authors.elsevier.com/a/1dUC9… #pyGCMS and #thermal analysis evaluating the effects of #horticulture on #soilorganicmatter Thanks @ESALQMidias @RutgersU @UM6P_officiel

Received my copy of the 3rd edition of Applied Pyrolysis Handbook thanks to @CRCPress, with an updated chapter on #forensic #evidence by J. Challinor, D.Detata @burnier_celine and myself. A valuable resource for #Pyrolysis work #PyGCMS #TraceEvidence

Happy to share with you our brand new Review on #plastic #additives and #PyGCMS !

This #WomenInScience day I want to share some pics of my deep conversations with soils & instruments #GCMS #PyGCMS to better understand human/soil/microbe interactions on extreme environments and agricultural lands, and to contribute to our sustainable development 🛠⚗️⚒ #GeoChem

Our v clever & ever-positive colleague & friend @FranciscaGNR sharing her PyGCMS method for #microplastic ID in oyster samples. High throughput, fast, no size limit (analysed micro and nano). Exciting to see new techniques this week at #MICRO2020 @UQ_News @QUEX_PhD @ExeterMarine

Learning my way through #chromatography #pygcms

Today presentation of the work of @HermabessiereL and colleagues on #pygcms method for identification of #microplastics in seafood at #WEFTA2018
