Analytical chemistry

Analytical chemistry is an area of chemistry that mainly deals with methods for separating, identifying and quantifying a sample's various components.

Within our research group, we develop and apply chemical analysis methods to study different phenomena in widely different sample matrices from soil to fungal cultures and body fluids. In support of this we have a well-equipped laboratory with, for example, instruments for liquid chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS) for organic analysis and inductively coupled plasma with atomic emission spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (ICP-AES / MS) for inorganic analysis.
