Projects in Chemical and biological analysis

How can we raise consumer awareness about the risks of direct imports via e-commerce? In this project, we explore how to inform consumers in a fun yet fact-based way using short films.

The FreeLIB (Fluorine-free Lithium-ion Batteries) project explores how PFAS and other hazardous fluorinated compounds form and are released during lithium-ion battery recycling and investigates methods to effectively reduce these emissions.

URSOILL – Swedish Living Lab works to improve soil health in Swedish cities through research, innovation, and collaboration between municipalities, academia, industry, and citizens. By developing solutions for cleaner, vibrant, and resilient urban soils, URSOILL contributes to greener cities, great…

The uptake of hydrogen for heavy‑duty transport requires further standardisation to support Europe’s green energy future. This project will deliver the evidence needed for the standardisation of hydrogen fuel sampling for heavy‑duty applications.

The European Parliament has acknowledged that businesses, especially SMEs, need more support to replace hazardous chemicals. In response, the European Commission launched a pilot project to explore how a future EU Substitution Centre, or a network of centres, could help.

The project combines advanced X-ray technology with machine learning to understand the internal structures of a material faster and more accurately. The aim is to develop new AI-driven methods for analyzing materials at the nanoscale. This will eventually enable better control and optimization of m…

The project develops new methods to enhance virus detection and surface cleaning efficiency through innovative models and molecular techniques. The results contribute to improved hygiene in societally critical environments such as healthcare, food production, and public spaces, thereby reducing the…

The project will measure the molar polarizability of argon and thus contribute to improving the realisation of the unit for pressure, the pascal.

RISE, KI, NorthXBiologics and Vecura formed this consortium with the aim to building a national infrastructure around gene therapies through exploring the possibilities of dry vaccines.

The establishment of model systems to study the bacterial dynamics and acquisition of antibiotic resistance on the skin caused by long-term exposure to skin care products will facilitate detection and prevention at an early stage.

From beach litter to microplastics is run by IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute in collaboration with RISE and Havets Hus in Lysekil. The project investigates what happens to all the plastic debris that washes ashore on our beaches. 

The interaction between different viruses and microorganisms on the skin is complex as the microbiota is built up and maintained. Hygiene products should be designed so that pathogenic microorganisms are removed without affecting the microbiota. PCR and sequencing were used to map viruses and micro…

Knowledge of the presence of resistance genes to antibiotics and biocides in microorganisms on the skin is important in order to be able to develop effective and long-term sustainable hygiene products. In the project, methodology for whole genome sequencing suitable for mapping resistance genes was…

The project is expected to strengthen Swedish industry's competitiveness and innovation capacity, as well as society's preparedness in the areas of infection prevention and microbial diagnostics. This will be done by establishing, developing and exploring methodologies for quantifying viruses and m…

The Swedish steel industry is a world leader in advanced special alloy steels. This project developed innovative sensors for monitoring steel production for higher quality and reduced consumption of raw material and energy.

Robust sensing systems for metallurgy must cope with high temperatures, dust and corrosive atmospheres. In this project, the next step was taken towards the commercialization of new technologis to monitor temperature and material composition in molten metal.

We will develop and validate robust DNA-based methods (qPCR and NGS) to quantify bacteria in the skin's microbiome. The project provides the basis for studies of the skin's microbiome to study, for example, the effect on the composition when applying different skin care products.

The FLU-ID project developed a portable biosensor system solution that shortens the total time for the diagnostic test of influenza to less than 60 minutes. The detection method is based on volume amplification of a virus target in a microfluidic chip and magnetic sensing of a magnetic nanoparticle…
