Mass Spectrometry Unit (UM)With the acquisition of technologically advanced instrumentation, analytical solutions are provided for the identification and quantification of organic compounds at trace levels of global interest. The EMU is divided into two subunits depending on the chromatographic technique to which it is associated:
The Mass Spectrometry unit associated with Gas Chromatography (UEM GC-MS) focuses its activity on the identification and quantification of organic compounds as belonging to different families, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, disinfection byproducts, etc. through multi-waste methodologies.
The availability of state-of-the-art equipment allows us to face the challenges that arise in environmental matters, both from the point of view of sensitivity and the monitoring of new emerging contaminants.
The Mass Spectrometry Unit associated with Liquid Chromatography (UEM LC-MS) has specialized in the targeted analysis of organic pollutants in aqueous samples through the use of multi-residue methods. The analytical catalog consists of more than 150 compounds including drugs, antibiotics, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, etc.
The Unit also offers a new non-directed analysis service using Liquid Chromatography coupled to High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS).
