HOW CAN WE CHEMICALLY CHARACTERISE BIOMASS FLOWS AND IDENTIFY INTERESTING METABOLITES?
- GC-MS: (semi-)volatile compounds
- LC-MS/MS & LC-HRMS: small molecules, proteins and peptides
- low resolution mass spectrometry
- high sensitivity
- known components (targeted)
- identify and quantify
- a priori knowledge
- high resolution & mass accuracy
- known & unknown components (targeted/untargeted)
- identify, quantify, profiling, -omics...
- a posteriori / retrospective
- large amount of complex data
ILVO'S HORIZONTAL CHROMATOGRAPHIC/MASS SPECTROMETRIC MEASUREMENT PLATFORM
Purpose
- Combining the available knowledge, expertise and analysis potential for the detection, identification and/or quantification of organic components in plants, animals and food/feed.
- Encouraging multidisciplinarity and coordinated approaches between current and future organic matter management.
