The LC-MS-Q-Exactive Orbitrap technology is suitable for the elucidation of the structure of molecules and their characterization in a wide range of analytical applications of enzyme-based substrate reactions, in particular for product identification as well as for balancing by isotope labeling (INST 263/88-1 LAGG).

The LC-MS system enables fast and sensitive detection of compounds in the trace range in a variety of applications including products of enzymatic syntheses or plant ingredients. Our system is equipped with a highly sensitive DA detector, a selective mass detector and a coolable autosampler (BMBF FKZ:03WIR30IL1).

The GC-Triple-Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS/MS) is used for the identification and quantification of vaporizable compounds including plant constituents, products of chemical and enzymatic syntheses (BMBF FKZ:03WIR30IL1).

Preparative chromatography can be used to separate desired target compounds from "impurities", e.g. from chemical and enzymatic syntheses. Our preparative HPLC system is designed for semi-preparative or preparative columns with a maximum flow rate of 200 ml/min (BMBF FKZ:03WIR30IL1).

Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography (FPLC) is a technique for the separation/purification of both homologous and heterologous proteins. In contrast to HPLC, a lower pressure and biological buffer systems are used.
