Meet the MACRAMÉ Consortium: *** MACRAMÉ Partner Spotlight: TASCON GmbH *** Tascon GmbH, founded in 1997, is a specialized service provider in the field of surface, micro, and nano analysis. With locations in Germany and the USA, Tascon utilises advanced techniques such as LEIS (Low Energy Ion Scattering), SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry), and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) to determine the chemical composition of surfaces, near-surface layers, and particles. Tascon’s clientele spans a wide range of industries, including research institutions, reflecting its flexibility and broad expertise. Accredited as a testing laboratory under DIN/ISO 17025, Tascon boasts extensive experience in conducting research projects, focusing on the development of surface analytical methods. Regular participation in collaborative projects underscores its commitment to innovation and research excellence. Tascon GmbH plays a crucial role in the MACRAMÉ Project, contributing its expertise in advanced surface and nano-analytical techniques to enhance the understanding and characterisation of Advanced Materials (AdMas).

"We conclude that the NAMs adopted by OECD test guidelines are currently not a good fit for testing inorganic NM." Since 2020, the REACh regulation requires toxicological data on nanoforms of materials, including the assessment of their skin-sensitizing properties. Small molecules’ skin sensitization potential can be assessed by new approach methodologies (NAMs) combined in a defined approach (DA) described in the OECD guideline 497. In the present study, the applicability of three NAMs (DPRA, LuSens, and h-CLAT) to nine materials was evaluated.

Unique, computer-readable identifiers are of utmost importance to the advancement of our work in the assessment of #safety and #sustainability of chemicals & materials. – Thank you, InChI and the InChI Trust for providing a platform on which to further develop their applicability & use.

Meet the MACRAMÉ Experts - today: TEMAS Solutions TEMAS Solutions is a Swiss-based SME founded in 2020, who plays a key role in supporting industry by helping them ensure that their path to market complies with the goals of the Green Deal through achieving the environmental, energy and climate targets for 2050. This means ensuring the active implementation of Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), in an increasing range of innovative materials. Known as TEMASOL, we ensure that SSbD is central to innovative design and fabrication technologies, where the integrity of solutions such as biobased plastics and polymers is being applied to a variety of sectors such as aerospace, automotive, construction, textile and packaging. TEMASOL is also involved in projects related to responsible replacements for PFAS in a range of products through implementation of SSbD and LCA. TEMASOL, as part of the Graphene Flagship has developed a Regulatory Roadmap to support industry achieve regulatory compliance for their new products. We also apply the fundamental principles of LCA, RA and SSbD to fields as diverse as soil remediation and restoration. ... read the full MACRAMÉ Partner Profile: https://lnkd.in/ewApu7S9
