Microplastics in Laboratory Analysis - Methodological and Regulatory Challenges

Microplastics in Laboratory Analysis - Methodological and Regulatory Challenges

Increasing regulatory requirements in the European Union, together with the rapid growth of environmental research, have made the analysis of microplastics one of the key challenges for modern laboratories. This discussion panel will focus on practical aspects of microplastic analysis, including sample preparation, polymer identification, detection limits, and the comparability of results between laboratories.The experts will also discuss issues related to method standardisation, laboratory accreditation, and the impact of emerging EU regulations, including the Drinking Water Directive, recent developments within the REACH regulation, and forthcoming environmental monitoring requirements. The panel will offer an opportunity to exchange perspectives and practical experience between researchers, manufacturers of analytical instrumentation, and testing laboratories.

NanoBioMedical Centre (CNBM), Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU), Poznań, is an interdisciplinary research centre focused on advanced studies of nanomaterials and biomaterials and their applications in medicine, biology, and modern materials technologies. Our mission is to develop cutting-edge nanotechnologies and biomaterials and to educate highly skilled specialists in materials engineering and nanobiomedicine. 

CNBM combines state-of-the-art research infrastructure, expert knowledge, and an interdisciplinary approach to develop materials for key areas of modern medicine, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, biomedical diagnostics, and biosensors. The Centre is equipped with modern research facilities that support both the fabrication and comprehensive characterisation of functional materials. Its technological infrastructure includes a fully equipped chemical laboratory, 3D printing systems, ALD and CVD deposition systems, and electrospinning equipment, enabling the production of advanced materials with preciselycontrolled properties. 

Our infrastructure is complemented by a wide range of advanced analytical instruments, including electron microscopes (SEM, TEM, HRTEM), atomic force microscopes (AFM), confocal microscopes (CLSM), X-ray diffractometers (XRD), as well as NMR and ICP-MS spectrometers. This combination of facilities allows us to carry out comprehensive materials research, from structural and physicochemical analysis to functional performance testing. This infrastructure also supports the development of solutions with strong application potential, extending beyond medicine to areas such as energy technologies and catalysis.As a scientific partner, CNBM actively supports collaboration between academia and industry, promoting innovative laboratory solutions, new research methods, and the effective transfer of knowledge and technology to real-world applications.

New technologies transforming pharmacy: from algorithms to automation

Pharmacy is at a turning point today. The digitalization of healthcare is accelerating, artificial intelligence and automation are increasingly entering everyday practice, and data is becoming one of the most valuable resources in the system. It is at the intersection of these three areas—technology, information, and patient care—that a new model of pharmacy is taking shape. 

The discussion is dedicated to how algorithms, robotics, and data integration are truly transforming the work of pharmacists, the organization of pharmacies, as well as the safety and quality of therapy. We will try to answer not only which technologies will be key, but above all, what challenges, risks, and decisions the entire sector is facing today.
