The XXX Conference of the Analytical Chemistry Division of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) took place from 17 to 21 September in the Italian city of Vasto. The topics of the conference regarded the recent scientific advances in the sector of Analytical Chemistry at large. A particular focus was placed on contributions related to the development of theories, materials, methodologies, and instrumental techniques for the qualitative and quantitative compositional determination of chemical systems, design and development of (bio)sensors, advanced separation techniques, integrated analytical systems, techniques and methods of characterization and specification as well as field and remote measurements for environmental, food and medical diagnostics, and  development and application of theoretical models and chemometric tools for the evaluation of the quality and significance of chemical information.

RELIANCE partners from the University of Rome Tor Vergata (UNITOV) participated in the event and presented the project with a poster entitled “A paper-based device for surface essential oils monitoring”, which shared some preliminary results from work package seven dealing with analysis of the antimicrobial properties of the nanocoatings and the durability of the antimicrobial action under certain circumstances.

RELIANCE poster was presented as part of the Electroanalytics session. Other featured sessions that were conducted in parallel were Food, Environment and Cultural Heritage, Bioanalytic-omics, Chemometrics, Balances, Forensic, Green Chemistry, Science Separations, Sensors-Biosensors, Mass spectrometry, Spectroscopy and Toxicology - Health.
