A1 - Maiwald, Michael T1 - Process Industry United in the Digital World - The current landscape of research for the digitalization of the process industry JF - ProcessNet - Process and Plant Engineering N2 - The Tutzing Symposium "100 % digital: survival strategies for the process industry" (see 4.1) in April 2018 was characterized by a great momentum which has been taken up and continued until today. The aim was to implement the ideas from the Tutzing Symposium in a coordinated and targeted manner. For this purpose, development needs as well as the numerous currently planned or already started research and development activities in the context of digitalisation were first compiled and analysed. This resulted in the current research landscape for digitalization in the process industry. It now enables to identify open topics and to translate them into research funding programs as well as to define new projects in the dialogue between users, suppliers and research, which are to be meaningfully interlinked and consolidated with existing projects. Due to the strong interest in digitalisation, activities are constantly being added, so that this paper can only provide a snapshot of the situation in the period 2019-2020.

The discipline comprises the construction of facilities that convert raw materials into value-added products along the value chain. Conversions typically take place in repeated reaction and separation steps—either in batch or continuous processes. The end products are the result of several production and separation steps that are not only sequentially linked, but also include the treatment of unused raw materials, by-products and wastes. Production processes in the process industry are particularly susceptible to fluctuations in raw materials and other influences affecting product quality. This is a challenge, despite increasing fluctuations, to deliver targeted quality and simultaneously meet the increasing dynamics of the market, at least for high value fine chemicals. In order to survive successfully in a changed environment, chemical companies must tread new paths. This includes the potential of digital technologies. The full integration and intelligent networking of systems and processes is progressing hesitantly. This contribution aims to encourage a more holistic approach to the digitalization in thermal process engineering by introduction of integrated and networked systems and processes.

T1 - Fast Confirmation of Antibody Identity by MALDI-TOF-MS Fingerprints T2 - Preprints N2 - Thousands of antibodies for diagnostic and other analytical purposes are on the market. However, it is often difficult to identify duplicates, reagent changes, and to assign the correct original publications to an antibody. This slows down scientific progress and might even be a cause of irreproducible research and a waste of resources. Recently, activities were started to suggest the sole use of recombinant antibodies in combination with the open communication of their sequence. In this case, such uncertainties should be eliminated. Unfortunately, this approach seems to be rather a long-term vision since the development and manufacturing of recombinant antibodies remain quite expensive in the foreseeable future. Also, nearly all commercial antibody suppliers may be reluctant to publish the sequence of their antibodies, since they fear counterfeiting. De-novo sequencing of antibodies is also not feasible today for a reagent user without access to the hybridoma clone. Nevertheless, it seems to be crucial for any scientist to have the opportunity to identify an antibody undoubtedly to guarantee the traceability of any research activity using antibodies from a third party as a tool. For this purpose, we developed a method for the identification of antibodies based on a MALDI-TOF-MS fingerprint. To circumvent lengthy denaturation, reduction, alkylation, and enzymatic digestion steps, the fragmentation was performed with a simple formic acid hydrolysis step. Eighty-nine unknown monoclonal antibodies were used for this study to examine the feasibility of this approach. Although the molecular assignment of peaks was rarely possible, antibodies could be easily recognized in a blinded test, simply from their mass-spectral fingerprint. A general protocol is given, which could be used without any optimization to generate fingerprints for a database. We want to propose that in most scientific projects relying critically on antibody reagents, such a fingerprint should be established to prove and document the identity of the used antibodies and to assign a specific reagent to a datasheet of a commercial supplier, a public database record or an antibody ID.

T1 - Simultaneous characterization of poly(acrylic acid) andpolysaccharide polymers and copolymers JF - Analytical Science Advances N2 - Copolymer products that result from grafting acrylic acid and other hydrophilicmonomers onto polysaccharides have recently gained significant interest in researchand industry. Originating from renewable sources, these biodegradable, low toxicity,and polar copolymer products exhibit potential to replace polymers from fossil sourcesin several applications and industries. The methods usually employed to character-ize these copolymers are, however, quite limited, especially for the measurement ofbulk properties. With more sophisticated applications, for example, in pharmaceu-tics requiring a more detailed analysis of the chemical structure, we describe a newapproach for this kind of complex polymers. Our approach utilizes chromatographyin combination with several detection methods to separate and characterize reactionproducts of the copolymerization of acrylic acid and chemically hydrolyzed starch.These samples consisted of a mixture of homopolymer poly (acrylic acid), homopoly-mer hydrolyzed starch, and – in a lower amount – the formed copolymers. Several chro-matographic methods exist that are capable of characterizing either poly (acrylic acid)or hydrolyzed starch. In contrast, our approach offers simultaneous characterization ofboth polymers. The combination of LC and UV/RI offered insight into the compositionand copolymer content of the samples. Size exclusion chromatography experimentsrevealed the molar mass distribution of homopolymers and copolymers. FTIR inves-tigations confirmed the formation of copolymers while ESI-MS gave more details onthe end groups of hydrolyzed starches and poly (acrylic acids). Evidence of copolymerstructures was obtained through NMR measurements. Finally, two-dimensional chro-matography led to the separation of the copolymers from both homopolymers as wellas the additional separation of sodium clusters. The methods described in this work area powerful toolset to characterize copolymerization products of hydrolyzed starch andpoly(acrylic acid). Together, our approach successfully correlates the physicochemicalproperties of such complex mixtures with their actual composition.

Smartphone als Detektor in Konzentrationen bis in den unteren ppb‐Bereich in <5 min nachzuweisen. Alle drei Systeme, darunter die hier neu entwickelten Systeme für TNT und PETN, tolerieren zudem nicht nur gepufferte wässrige Modelllösungen, sondern auch komplexere Matrices. Neben einem konventionellen Teststreifen mit einem Kanal erlaubte uns die Anwendung von Wachsdrucktechnologie das Herstellen von mehrkanaligen Streifen mit vergleichbarer analytischer Leistungsfähigkeit, was das enorme Potenzial der modular aufgebauten, hybriden Biosensormaterialien im Hinblick auf eine für den Endanwender maßgeschneiderte Vor‐Ort‐Analytik unterstreicht.
