Composition of Joint Unit of Research, if relevant

It was born in 1994 to solve environmental problems and carry out instrumentation development. Later, the interest falls on other topics: synthesis of (nano)materials for electrochemical/optical (bio)sensors, sample preparation and treatment and use of atomic spectroscopic methods in the determination of analytes of diverse origin. In the last 10 years (2011-present) the group has published 44 JCR articles, 2 books, 9 book chapters and 8 patents; it has also participated in 88 communications to congresses, 20 R&D&i projects and 7 contracts.
