Instruct-ERIC Virtual Event

Date: 16-Sep-2020, 14:00 CEST

It is our great pleasure to invite you to a virtual event celebrating the achievements of Instruct-ERIC in the time since achieving European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) status in 2017.

The event will celebrate the achievements of Instruct-ERIC, recognising the hard work and commitment of the consortium, staff, supporters and users, in the wider context of the successful European Research Infrastructure landscape. Through selected talks by our eminent colleagues and a panel discussion, we will look ahead to an exciting future for Instruct-ERIC and Research Infrastructures in Europe, exploring new collaborative opportunities that will enable important scientific and technological developments.

Details of the agenda and registration can be found here.

Launch of database for raw molecular biophysics data - MBDB

We have launched a public database where you can store your raw data with rich annotation of samples and conditions of measurements.

The Molecular Biophysics Database currently accepts depositions of raw measurement files from MST, BLI, SPR and ITC.

We invite you to deposit your data, make it findable, searchable and reusable at https://mbdb-data.org/

MBDB has been developed within the EU project MOSBRI by a team of developers mainly from the Institute of Biotechnology and CESNET. Its development continues and we welcome comments and suggestions at mbdb@ibt.cas.cz.

Analysis of micro and nanoplastic particles in Nanobio Core Facility

CF Nanobio offers the analysis of micro and nano plastic particles that pose risks to ecosystems and human health. Raman microscopy enables detailed chemical analysis of these particles in water, milk, blood, tissues, soil, and food. Semi-automated analysis using Particle Analysis software and an extensive polymer library ensures precise identification and quantification. The Renishaw InVia Raman microscope, with upgraded lasers and polarization capabilities, supports diverse applications.

Vladimír Sklenář Scholarship

To honor the memory of Prof. Vladimír Sklenář, an internationally renowned scientist and an important organizer of scientific activities in the Czech Republic, CEITEC Masaryk University is introducing the Vladimír Sklenář Scholarship. The scholarship is intended for students of doctoral studies at universities in the Czech and Slovak Republics working in the field of NMR spectroscopy, and can be used to cover the costs related to their studies. The intention is to strengthen and improve the quality of studies, as well as personal and career development.

The scholarship in the amount of CZK 100,000, which may be taxable according to the practice of the institution and/or the tax regulations of the beneficiary's country, is sponsored by Měřící technika Morava. The scholarship will be awarded to one person per year.

The deadline for applications for the 2025 scholarship has been set for 28 February 2025.

Enhanced SAXS Instrumentation: MetalJet D2+ Upgrade Boosts Performance and Beam Intensity

In CF Diffraction Techniques, we have successfully upgraded the X-ray source of the SAXS instrument. The upgrade of MetalJet C2 to D2+ brought
more than double intensity of the primary beam. The instrument enables rapid standard SAXS measurements with a low volume autosampler, SEC-SAXS
experiments or special applications, now with substantially improved signal to noise ratio.
