For three days, from March 26 to 28, the University of La Laguna was the center of scientific debate on the sustainable preparation of samples in analytical laboratories. The Gran Hotel Laguna hosted the International Seminar \u2013 Workshop National Network for Sustainable Sample Preparation<\/a>, an event that has brought together nearly 70 prestigious national and international researchers in this field.<\/p>\n

The main objective of this meeting was to address the latest advances in sample preparation techniques that minimize the consumption of energy, reagents, and solvents in laboratories. The aim is to reduce environmental impact without compromising the quality, effectiveness, and accuracy of analytical methods.<\/p>\n

The event, funded by the Vice-Rectorate for Research and Transfer of the University of La Laguna and framed within CEI areas, served as a space for the exchange and dissemination of research with relevant applications for society. It was organized by the professors Ver\u00f3nica Pino<\/a> y Javier Hern\u00e1ndez Borges<\/a>, from the Departmental Unit of Analytical Chemistry of the University of La Laguna.<\/p>\n

This workshop has been the culmination of two consecutive projects of the National R&D Plan in Research Networks called 'National Network for Innovation in Miniaturized Sample Treatment Techniques (InSampr)' and the current project '\u2018National Network for Sustainable Sample Preparation<\/a> (NSP)', led by Soledad C\u00e1rdenas<\/a>, professor at the University of C\u00f3rdoba.<\/p>\n

The seminar featured an intensive program, including 24 oral presentations, three keynote addresses, and three plenary lectures by leading international experts. Among the highlights were the keynote addresses by Javier Hern\u00e1ndez Borges (University of La Laguna), entitled \u201cFrom field to lab: Our personal experience in sampling\u201d; Juan Francisco Ayala Cabrera (University of the Basque Country), who presented \u201cHigh-throughput sample treatment for multi-target and suspect screening analysis of xenobiotics in human biofluids\u201d; and Vanesa Romero Riva (University of Vigo), who spoke on \u201cNanomaterials and porous materials for developing novel preconcentration platforms for ions and molecules.\u201d.<\/p>\n

The plenary lectures were given by Victoria Samanidou (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece), who spoke about different metrics currently used to measure the sustainability and practicality of the sample preparation stage and, more generally, of an analytical method. Nuno Ratola (University of Porto, Portugal) also participated, reviewing more than 20 years of development in the analysis of micro-pollutants, and Emanuela Gionfriddo (University at Buffalo, USA) presented strategies for the selective pre-concentration of perfluoroalkyl substances in aqueous and gas phases.<\/p>\n

In addition, the event included several roundtables on sustainability metrics in green analytical chemistry and a virtual roundtable with researchers from South America to strengthen international networks in this field.<\/p>\n

Three awards were also given for the best oral communications, one of them sponsored by the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC) of the Springer publishing house, another from the Canary Islands Territorial Section of the Royal Spanish Society of Chemistry and another from the Network itself (NSP).<\/p>\n

The success of this seminar reaffirms the importance of scientific collaboration in the search for sustainable solutions for the laboratories of the future. The University of La Laguna continues to excel in the field of analytical chemistry and sustainability research, both nationally and internationally.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
