Mass spectrometry (MS) is a versatile analytical technique used to measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. This can providing precise information on the molecular weight, structure, and composition of chemical compounds.
We have a wide range of instruments to identify and quantify individual compounds – from small molecule to proteins and polymers.
Confirmation and unknowns analysis
Unknown compounds can be identified using High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), which provides precise measurement of mass-to-charge ratios with exceptional accuracy, allowing for detailed analysis of complex mixtures. By using advanced...Read More >
Environmental and elemental analysis
Environmental Analysis often employs techniques such as ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) and isotope-ratio MS (Mass Spectrometry) to assess trace elements and isotopic compositions in environmental samples. ICP-MS is...Read More >
