Chemical Analytics & Synthesis

Portrait

Main focus is the development and provision of innovative workflows and methods for mass spectrometric analysis of all types of small molecules and lipids in biological materials. Our established workflows include both targeted quantitative analysis of known exogenous and endogenous substances and metabolites as well as non-targeted metabolomic/lipidomic profiling enabling hypothesis-generating research and biomarker discovery. Currently, targeted methods for more than 250 substances are available for analysis of in vitro systems, tissue or body fluids. A recent expansion of our portfolio is the application of label-free quantitative proteomics for evaluation of protein expression changes. The synthesis lab provides otherwise not available substances, mostly drugs and their metabolites and stable isotope-labeled compounds.
