At analytica 2026 in Munich, we presented two recent developments linked to Chromservis. We introduced the updated MetAmino® kit for LC-MS and GC-MS analysis, which now includes 17 isotopically labelled internal standards and supports accurate analysis of more than 80 amino acids, polyamines and biogenic amines. We also used the occasion to present LipoEasy kit, … Read more
We are pleased to highlight a new collaborative study published in Functional Ecology. In the article, “Species-specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows,” the authors show that herbivore-induced volatile signals can shape predator attraction in a species-specific way. While inducible VOCs in Salix fragilis were linked to the recruitment of invertebrate predators, predator attraction in Salix cinerea was … Read more
We are pleased to highlight a new collaborative study published in Nature Communications, co-authored by an international research team including Martin Moos from our laboratory. The article, “Developmental plasticity enables an intestinal tapeworm to adapt to dietary stress,” reveals how dietary fiber availability shapes the development, reproduction, and survival strategies of the intestinal tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta. The study shows … Read more
Czech Science Foundation, No. 23-06600S (2023-2025) This project addresses a fundamental analytical limitation of current LC–MS–based metabolomics: the insufficient detectability of chemically unstable metabolites containing aldehyde or keto (oxo) groups. Many biologically essential oxo-metabolites play central roles in energy metabolism, redox balance, and cellular signaling, yet remain analytically inaccessible due to rapid degradation, poor ionization efficiency, … Read more
Czech Ministry of Education, Operation program Jan Amos Komensky, project reg. no. CZ.02.01.01/00/23_021/0008906 (BudDiag), co-funded by the European Union (2024-2028) Research partners: Hospital České Budějovice; AnyCare s.r.o.; Chromservis s.r.o.; Univerity of South Bohemia, Faculty of Science The BudDiag project focuses on the development and clinical translation of advanced bioanalytical tools for comprehensive metabolomic analysis, with the … Read more
Czech Science Foundation No. 25-17505S (2025-2027) Research partners: Tomáš Albrecht – Institute of Vertebrate Biology, CAS; Radka Reifová – Faculty of Science, Charles University This project addresses one of the central paradigm shifts in evolutionary biology: the recognition that mate choice and sexual selection can continue after copulation. In many passerine birds, high levels of sexual … Read more
Sigma DC1 -TQ11000026 – LipoQuant kit (2025-2026) Research partners: Chromservis s.r.o. This project, funded by the TAČR SIGMA – Proof of Concept programme, is focused on the development of a novel bioanalytical kit (LipoQuant Kit) for the quantitative analysis of lipid-bound fatty acids in complex biological matrices. Lipid-bound fatty acids represent a major fraction of cellular lipids and play a … Read more
OP TAK – Aplikace II (2026–2027) Research partners: Institute of Applied Biotechnologies a.s.;AnyCare s.r.o. This project develops a next-generation digital infrastructure for secure storage, management, integration, and analysis of large-scale multi-omics data (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, lipidomic). The CODE platform supports data-intensive life sciences and precision medicine by providing a robust, interoperable, and scalable environment … Read more
Czech Science Foundation, No. 26-22858S (2026-2028) Research partners: Oldřich Tomášek – Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences; Tomáš Albrecht – Faculty of Science, Charles University This project, funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR), investigates the ecological and evolutionary significance of circulating metabolic energy substrates in birds, with a particular focus on blood glucose and free fatty acids (FFAs). These … Read more
Aarhus University; Department of Biology – Zoophysiology; DK Our collaboration with Prof. Johannes Overgaard focuses on the physiological and metabolic mechanisms underlying insect cold tolerance, seasonal acclimation, and thermal adaptation. By combining comparative physiology, experimental ecology, and metabolomics, we investigate how insects adjust their metabolism and cellular function in response to low-temperature stress across diverse … Read more
