Mass spectrometry has a number of very diverse applications, especially in the field of organic compounds. Some examples are:
- Analysis of natural products (phenols, essential oils, sterols, fatty acids).
- Characterisation of reaction mixtures in organic synthesis.
- Analysis of drugs and their metabolites.
- Environmental analysis (analysis of surface and waste water, detection of pesticides, herbicides and insecticides, etc.).
The services offered include:
- Determination, characterisation and identification of the molecular mass of small molecules.
- Performance of low and high resolution mass spectra of pure products or mixtures, by direct introduction or prior separation by liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC).
- Performance of MS/MS experiments by structural analysis and quantification in ESI and APCI (MRM).
- Data analysis.
