QC4SUSTEX – Quality Control for Sustainable Textiles
“QC4SUSTEX: Authentication and security of sustainable textiles and development of equipment for the environmental control in their manufacturing” is a research project developed by a consortium of 5 Galician SMEs: AMSLAB, MESTRELAB, ORGANISTRY, 2XMIL and XENOTECHS, further supported by two research groups at the University of Santiago de Compostela and at Citius (IT Singular research centre).
The project is funded by the Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN), through the Conecta-PEME programme and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) within the Thematic Objective I, “Strengthening research, technological development and innovation”, included in the framework of programme FEDER Galicia 2014-2020. It also has the support of the Consellería de Economía, Emprego e Industria. The total budget of the project amounts to 1.384.032,10 €.
The objective of the project is the development of efficient solutions to be sold globally to meet the specific demands of the sustainable fashion market for quality control. The three main objectives of the project are:
- To develop tools for the authentication in the lab of sustainability claims or certifications of fibres and fabrics used in clothes and footwear.
- To evaluate and improve the safety of materials used in the manufacturing of sustainable fashion.
- To develop an integral turnkey service to control the environmental impact on water of the suppliers to the main textile retailers. This will include equipment for continuous monitorisation, in-situ sampling solutions for inspections and an application for the in-situ determination of chemical substances by colorimetry.
During 2019 the consortium worked in several areas related to sustainable fashion verification:
- Although early days, several tools were developed and commercialized, including testing for vegan products and organic cotton.
- We have identified markers to differentiate recycled and virgin synthetic fibres (PET and polyamide) using advanced chemometric tools and the newly developed Mnova ElViS, as a first step towards applying machine learning techniques.
- A standard test to simulate microplastic release during machine-washing has been designed and validated, with images being processed and analysis using artificial vision techniques.
- Several bio-based dyes were evaluated as alternatives to petroleum-derived ones.
- An app for Android to carry out in-situ effluent colorimetric measurements was developed with the textile industry in mind. Our study concludes that recycling of textile fibres does not pose any specific chemical risk.

FUTURELAB – The Digital Lab of the Future
FutureLab is a project aiming at using modern software tools to create a cloud environment connecting all R&D elements of the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing industries to increase their productivity and efficiency, transcending geographical barriers. Analytical chemistry and chemometric technology will connect chemists, biochemists and other support positions in these traditional industries with their counterparts in academic institutions and Custom Research Organizations (CROs), as well as analytical equipment manufacturers. This will create a global community and marketplace fostering collaboration and service exchange, with individuals, entities and instrumentation directly interacting with each other, regardless of their location. The data in the system can be exploited by Artificial Intelligence technologies, including Machine and Deep Learning, while preserving confidentiality. This will facilitate automation in the value chain and increase predictive science.
The project is funded by the Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN), through the Industrias do Futuro programme and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It also has the support of the Consellería de Economía, Emprego e Industria.
QNMR MACHINE – A novel integrated platform for the automated quantitation of chemical substances by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
qNMR (Quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), is a validated method for chemical compound purity and potency determination that is growing in acceptance. It is widely applied in many scientific disciplines, from very pure compounds used in the pharmaceutical industry to mixtures of compounds in forensic samples.
This project aims at integrating Bruker NMR hardware capabilities developed in Switzerland with Mestrelab’s analytical software to create a seamless solution, which will include Bruker’s NMR spectrometer, together with simple and fully automated acquisition processes, as well as Mestrelab’s Mnova features for NMR signal processing, quantitation analysis, machine learning-based NMR prediction and structure verification. This will be the first system connecting NMR to the cloud to operate as a semiautomated and automated quantitation machine.
The project is funded by European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and by ICEX
SERSBIOTECH – IoT system for automatic detection of pathogens in water through artificial intelligence, biotechnology and nano SERS technology integration for the prevention and control of infectious outbreaks in aquaculture farms.
SERSBIOTECH is a project aiming at developing a new generation of ultrasensitive biosensors based on the combined use of nanochemistry, molecular recognition and bio-functionalization, in a lateral flow chromatography (LFA) system integrated in Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) software. The research project is developed by the following consortium: SISTEMAS AUDIOVISUALES ITELSIS, SL (coordinator), LINCBIOTECH, GALICIAN MARINE AQUACULTURE SL (GMAI, SOLUCIONES Y PROYECTOS DE INFORMACION SL (SIXTEMA) and MESTRELAB RESEARCH SL, further supported by the two research institutions of the University of Vigo and CETGA. The project is funded by the Axencia Galega de Innovación (GAIN), through the Conecta hubs program and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under the FEDER Galicia 2014-2020 operational program. It also has the support of the Vicepresidencia Segunda e Consellería de Economía, Empresa e Innovación.
The SERSBIOTech project proposes the development of a real-time detection system for pathogens in water through the development of a reliable biosensor for in situ and remote monitoring of infectious diseases of great relevance to the aquaculture industry. This system would cover the current need that exists in the sector for the development of new rapid and automated detection systems for the detection of pathogens.
