Huge congratulations to Magdalena who passed her PhD defence yesterday! As we are still in the middle of the pandemic, the defence was held online, which really is not the same as a real proper in-person event. But Magdalena passed her Zoom-defence with flying colours and gave good answers to […]

Our institute prepared a press note about our latest paper on detection of neurotransmitters in mouse serum. The pressnote itself can be found here (pdf). Quoting from it we can read “We are aiming to detect neurotransmitters at the lowest concentrations and without additional sample preparation,” says the author of […]
After quite a bit of work Magdalena published her research on using the rotating droplet for detection of neurotransmitters. The key point is that by using the rotating droplet, we can perform hydrodynamic measurements in volumes of only a few tens of microliters. Combining this with an electrode modification that […]
After long, hard effort we finally published* our research on pencil lead electrodes as electrode arrays in a microfluidic system. This was first intended as an easy-to-assemble system that could be used e.g. in experiments for high-school students or undergrads. However, from that initial, simple idea it turned out to […]
We had a batch of good new coming in the last few weeks. Magdalena was awarded a stipend as one of our institute’s most promising young researchers. In the competition for travel grants for young scientists, our group took fully half of the places. Paulina will be going to Bath […]
Almost the whole group went to the ISE annual meeting, this year organised in Bologna, Italy. Apart from lots of cool science, many new contact, meeting with old friends the week also included some sight-seeing and a good deal of lovely Italian food. The group presented five posters during the […]
Again we had a group of pupils visiting us to make salt prints of photos that were printed in black and white on transparent plastic (like in overhead projectors – if anyone is old enough to remember those). This time the visitors were a group from a primary school here […]
Happy New Year for all electronic tongue lovers! In the last day of 2017 a new open-access review concerning electronic tongues appeared on MPDI Biosensors website. This invited manuscript aims to not only mention the most obvious applications of sensor matrixes such as the analysis of foodstuffs but also focuses […]
We just had a paper published in Analytical Chemistry concerning generation-collection electrochemistry inside a rotating droplet. This is a continuation of the investigation of the rotating droplet as a small volume hydrodynamic system that was published last year in Electrochem. Commun. In this paper we generation-collection electrochemistry, meaning that we […]
Our group did very well in our institute’s “Young scientist” awards this year. The award is given to a number of PhD students and young doctors (under 35) for their publication record over the last three years. This year both Emilia and Wojtek were awarded in the doctor category and […]
