Research: In-situ Analytics

Modern ionisation methods allow the direct analysis of samples by mass spectrometry without sample preparation . In combination with transportable mass spectometers on-site analysis becomes feasible. We develop instrumentation, methods und data analysis programms for the detection of pollutants in food and customer goods.

Research focus

• mass spectrometic analysis of biological samples and method development
• new ambient ionisation methods
• mass spectrometry imaging
• multivariate analysis of metabolomic fingerprints
• mass spectrometry-based screening methods for food and customer goods
• on-site analysis

screening methods for:

• pesticid residues in fruit and vegetable
• phthalates/plasticizer in customer goods
