The presence and impacts of microplastics are being extensively researched and reviewed, especially in the marine environment. However, the accumulation and ecotoxicity of leaching compounds such as additives in plastic waste are scarcely studied.
This webinar explores how leachates from microplastics and other plastic materials accumulate within edible and non-edible root vegetables and how they are then incorporated into the food chain.
Our expert speaker will discuss the results of their research into the levels of leachates in root vegetables, illustrating how plastic-associated compounds were quantified using a novel static headspace and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SHS-GC-MS) workflow.

In the pursuit of a sustainable future, advanced energy materials are emerging as the building blocks of a clean energy revolution. These next-generation materials promise to transform how we capture, store and utilize energy, driving innovation in semiconductors, solar cells, fuel cells and beyond.

New for 2024, this online event will distill complex scientific concepts into concise, informative 10-minute presentations. Our expert panel of speakers will cover sources, impacts and mitigation strategies for environmental pollutants, providing a comprehensive overview of the challenges and solutions in this highly topical field.

High concentrations of human lactoferrin (hLF) in human milk offer health benefits for infants and adults, including nourishment and growth support.
Recombinant hLF (rhLF) has been expressed in yeast at an industrial scale, with the aim of making it affordable and accessible as a supplement.
This webinar takes a deep dive into how rhLF can be characterized and analyzed to ensure its safety for consumption in clinical studies.
Our expert speaker will cover how various analytical techniques – including microfluidic modulation spectroscopy – can confirm identity, assess purity and impurities, measure size and investigate the structure of rhLF, as well as compare it to native hLF.
