Testing samples from the LRI project CENAKVA using the Celena X instrument at Logos Biosystems SARL

On March 19, 2025, I departed from Nové Hrady in the early morning hours and traveled to Prague, from where I flew to Paris. There, I transferred to a train and arrived in Lille later in the morning. Lille is the location of Logos Biosystems SARL.

Upon arrival, I met with Ms. Karine Labour (Europe Managing Director) and Mr. Javier García (Field Application Scientist). After an initial introduction to the Celena X instrument, we immediately began practical testing of the samples brought from the CENAKVA LRI project. Testing continued throughout the rest of the day and into the following morning.

On the afternoon of March 20, I returned to Prague via Paris and then traveled back to Nové Hrady by car.

The obtained data was provided to me for further processing and was presented at a laboratory meeting on March 24, 2025. The results generated considerable interest and contributed to clarifying issues related to the samples, which could not be adequately analyzed using the equipment available in our laboratory.

In conclusion, the business trip fulfilled its purpose, and the results represent a significant contribution to the continued success of the project.
