"Ask-the-expert on the analysis of #microplastics with pyrolysis #GCMS" webinar m 6 Sept 23, 11:00 AM Central European Summer Time. #water #wastewater https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4201490/A60CAF4DB86CE32768743293B436305A

I spent SO MANY HOURS in grad school manually adjusting peak baselines and deciding what should or shouldn't count as a peak and then going back and doing it all again because I called it a peak in one sample but not the other. I'm SO happy that progress is being made on this problem and very excited to read this preprint!

This morning I have been sitting in a review of our #PolarRES project with EC + an independent scientist.
It's incredibly cool, seeing progress over the last 18 months, some incredible work already done + lots more on the way.

This figure shared by PI Priscilla Mooney struck me again.
What we're trying to do with the very high resolution #RCMs and the stretched grids in the #GCMs is *hard* + never really tried before.

Awesome #outreach plan too

So, my "new" GC/MS shipped and I'll be able to do Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis at home now.

I have it fully licensed and a Developer API license to the Rutgers GC/MS composition analysis database, but analyzing and correlating datapoints might demand even more of my time than 3D printing, cleaning, post-processing, and calibration.

Are you an #analytical #scientist based in the #UK? A new #PI who has a #data story to tell? I’m organising a webinar series and want to #invite #speakers to showcase how they look at #big #data. It can be #LCMS #GCMS #NMR other #spectroscopy or any #analytical #data. Interested? Drop me a toot! Pls #boost so I can cross :mastodon: servers and land into them all! :vaccinated_skintone3: :rstats: :python:

#research on dissolved organic matter (DOM) in #groundwater (seepage) collected in lysimeters (devices to measure water flow)

It shows: dealing with leachates (plasticizers), development of an inert lysimeter, #GCMS (gas chromatography – mass spectrometry) to detect organic compounds relevant in #biology / #biochemistry.
