Interdisciplinary lecture within NAWA-STER workshops
On 14.06.2022 Doctoral School of Medical and Health Sciences organised an interdisciplinary lecture by a world-class Proferssor Janusz Pawliszyn from Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, entitled: “Green analytical methods in pharmaceutical and clinical analysis”.
The lecture introduced PhD students to recent trends in clinical sample preparation include shift towards automation, high-throughput, miniaturization, and extraction methodology with low or no solvent consumption (“green chemistry”). To accomplish this objective frequently microextraction approaches using sorbents combined with chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry or directly with mass spectrometry are being developed. During the lecture two technologies meeting these criteria were discussed including Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) and Needle Trap Device (NTD). The presentation emphasized the ways in which solid phase microextraction (SPME) complement currently used techniques. This involved the overview of SPME in many biological applications, including doping inspection, clinical control, therapeutic drug monitoring and metabolomics studies. The most promising application of SPME, which distinguishes this method from other sample preparation techniques, is its applicability to on-site and in vivo sampling with no need of sample withdrawal. A few examples of such “chemical biopsy” in vivo tissue analysis during organ transplantation and brain investigations as the alternative to standard approaches were discussed. Finally, the importance of high throughput and automation in the view of clinical laboratory requirement as the large-scale drug screening were be shown.
After the lecture, a discussion ensued and there were questions from the students.
