Analytical Platform
URD ABI’s analytical platform is equipped with brand new and top-of-the-line systems. To support our chemistry, biotechnology and downstream processing teams, our vast analytical park includes chromatography, spectroscopy as well as thermal analysis devices. Furthermore, our experienced team develops and improve analytical methods.
Our chromatography park includes the following devices:
- 2 HPLC chains with 4 different detectors (DAD, Corona, RI and UV) (ThermoScientific)
- 1 MS HPLC chain coupled with a mass spectrometer detector and a DAD (ThermoScientific)
- 1 MS2 UHPLC chain coupled with a Q-ToF detector (Agilent)
- 1 Size-Exclusion Chromatograph with UV and RI detectors (Agilent)
- 2 Gas Chromatographs coupled with a mass spectrometer detector (quadrupole) (Agilent and Shimadzu)
In order to characterize polymers, the platform is also equipped with:
- 1 TGA (ThermoGravimetric Analysis) (TA Instrument)
- 1 DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) (TA Instrument)
To provide additional information on chemical structures, the chemists have also access to:
- 1 TLC-MS system (Advion)
- 1 Fourier 300MHz NMR spectrometer (1H, 13C, 1D/2D) (Bruker)
- 1 100MHz benchtop NMR spectrometer (1H, 31P) (Nanalysis)
