A novel and validated reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) approach was established for the concurrent measurement of cyproconazole (CYP) isomers and tebuconazole (TBZ) in suspension concentrate (SC) agrochemical formulations. The approach employed a C18 column with a gradient elution of 0.1% formic acid in water and methanol, attaining baseline resolution of CYP isomer-1, isomer-2 and TBZ without requiring chiral columns or sample pretreatment. Linearity was confirmed within the range of 80-120% of the target concentration, with a R2 value of 0.999. Accuracy varied from 101.2% to 102.8%, with a %RSD of less than 0.8%. LC-MS analysis verified analyte identity through distinctive ion transitions (CYP: m/z 292, TBZ: m/z 308). This is the initial method for isomer-specific detection of CYP using RP-HPLC within a formulation matrix. The methodology is straightforward, resilient and appropriate for standard quality assurance and regulatory adherence in agrochemical manufacturing.

Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are widely used in diverse technological and scientific applications due to their unique optical and catalytic properties. These properties are strongly influenced by the size, shape, composition, and/or concentration of the NPs, which in turn depend on the synthesis conditions. Therefore, the development of simple, cost-effective, and reliable analytical methods for their characterization is essential.

Endotoxins are components of the outer membrane of bacteria that can become airborne during aerosol-generating work activities and cause adverse effects on workers' health. Filtration is the sampling method recommended by the EN 14031 standard for endotoxin measurements in workplace atmospheres. However, there are still differences in terms of practice regarding certain parameters of the measurement method.

Extreme climatic events, such as marine heatwaves (MHW) and increased suspended sediment concentration (SSC), are increasing in frequency and intensity, resulting in sudden changes to coastal environments, especially intertidal zones. Intertidal animals experience conditions that substantially fluctuate over temporal and spatial scales and therefore require the ability to physiologically tolerate these fluctuations. Since multiple stressors often co-occur and natural populations tend to respond to local environmental fluctuations, we aimed to investigate individual and combined effects of MHW and increased suspended sedimentation in Forsterygion lapillum from two neighbouring coastal areas with distinct water temperatures and wave current regimes by assessing fish oxygen consumption rate, mortality and weight loss.

In this context, we evaluated the photodynamic effects of four cationic tetra-(pyridyl)porphyrins against Vaccinia virus Western Reserve (VACV WR) and Monkeypox virus (MPXV). The porphyrins were initially analyzed for cytotoxicity to Vero cells by MTT assay and the maximal non-cytotoxic concentrations were used in virucidal assays. For virucidal assays, VACV-WR (107.

Colloidal Lignin Particles (CLPs), with their polyphenolic structure, are promising sustainable alternatives to chemical UV filters. This study investigates the photochemical behavior of CLPs under ultraviolet irradiation synthetized from five different technical raw lignins (Alkali, Organosolv, two Enzymatic Hydrolyzed and Softwood Kraft Lignin) via solvent-shift procedure. The suspensions were irradiated using a self-developed UV-pen set-up and a commercially available UV chamber, enabling controlled UV exposure over time.
