ResumoFollowing Eric's presentation the poster session with apéro started.26 posters were registered plus 5 sponsors, which was double the number from previous years.The day concluded with a sumptuous buffet dinner and discussions in the Muh-Bar.Emilio Yángüez (FGCZ) started the first session on Friday talking about single cell gene expression analysis.This technique provides snap-shots of the genes that are active at a given time in a specific cell.Current technologies allow generation of gene expression profiles of thousands of cells in parallel with high resolution, allowing the characterization of tumors, developing organs or even whole organisms.Jens Sobek (FGCZ) then introduced single-molecule analytics for monitoring chemical reactions using a fluorescent dye.This was followed by Christian Berchtold (FHNW) describing a single-cell picker that, in a proof of concept, allows metabolite and protein quantification in a single cell.Maria Girard (University of Geneva) then presented an automated parallel derivatization strategy that allows profiling multifunctional metabolites during a single LC run, and Charlotte Driesen (Empa) analyzed and modelled PCB concentration in cattle feeding on PCB-polluted soils, in view of mitigating PCB contamination in food of bovine origin.Markus Mieth (Sandoz GmbH) then informed the mostly academic attendees about how difficult it is to implement a new analytical technique, in this case Transition Raman for Content Uniformity Testing, into a GLP/GMP environment.This was followed by Andrea Sterzi's (Empa) evaluation of deep UV Raman spectroscopy for online water monitoring.
