The metabolomics laboratory provides services of targeted and untargeted metabolome analyses in various biological matrices. Metabolomic analyses are performed using tandem analytical techniques: GC/MS and LC/HRMS with a hybrid LTQ Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer with high resolution and accurate molecular weight measurement. From the targeted analyses, the laboratory is providing the determination of sugars, fatty acids, volatile compounds, phenolic compounds and other primary and secondary metabolites (over 300).
The laboratory of isotopic analyses provides services of measurements of relative abundance of stable isotopes (13C/12C, 15N/14N, 34S/32S, D/H, 18O/16O) in soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. The analysis is performed using an isotopic ratio mass spectrometer ISOPRIME100 coupled with elemental analyser, and allows analyses of solid and liquid samples or with cryogenic preconcentration in gas samples.
