Workshop: AI Tools for Publishing and Research
Date: 16th September 2024
Time: 13:50-14:20
Location: Mikis Theodorakis Theater hall
Free workshop sponsored by Chemistry Europe, open to all registered participants of EuSP2024|GSAC2024. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools are becoming more popular and increasingly easy to use today. This talk provides editorial insights on the most common tools that scientists might find helpful in preparing their manuscripts and organizing their research output. We'll also cover the basic issues on limitations, ownership, confidentiality, accuracy, and disclosure when it comes to such AI tools. At the end, attendees will be able to understand the pros and cons of such tools and best practices in using them.

Vendor Seminar
SRA Instruments Seminar: Green Approach to Intensive Automation of Olive Oil Analysis According to EU Regulation
Speaker: Andrea Carretta, SRA Instruments
Date: 17th September 2024
Time: 13:50-14:20
Location: Mikis Theodorakis Theater hall
Description: The COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2022/2104 currently in force throughout the European community, defines the characteristics necessary to ascribe the various olive oils to the different product classes (lampante, virgin, extra virgin, refined, composed, crude/refined/olive pomace). In order to commercialize the various oils within the correct class of belonging, community producers and distributors must produce analytical evidence regarding the determination of numerous chemical, chemical-physical and organoleptic-sensorial parameters. In many cases, the analytical methods are highly time-consuming, require the use of high amounts of organic solvents and consumables materials, and constitute a potential source of continuous and prolonged exposure of operators to chemical vapors.
SRA instruments Italy has developed a series of automated analyzers able to drastically reduce the use of solvents (up to 90% solvent amount saved), and consumables materials (up to 95% amount saved), as well as the exposure of the analysts to organic solvents (practically eliminated), fully automating the whole analysis workflows, and therefore assuring the highest level of data reliability. The analyzers are suitable for the determination of Alkyl esters, Waxes, Stigmastadienes, Sterols, Triterpene dialcohols; in all cases, the only operation to be carried out manually is the initial weighing of an aliquot of sample to be placed on the tray.
