GC/MS-IT (ion trap) system (Trace ITQ 1100, Thermo Scientific)

This system is suited mainly for the identification of unknown components in less complex samples or for monitoring of target compounds in impure matrices. Its MSn technique allows to routinely test for compounds that cannot typically be detected with other GC/MS techniques. MSn provides the ultimate in selectivity for target analytes, eliminating false positives and false negatives.

Comprehensive GCxGC/MS-TOF (time of flight) system

The system (Pegasus 4D, Leco) with a cryogenic jet modulator, which is suited for a variety of applications, including the analysis of complex matrices such as petroleum fractions or various natural products that are difficult to analyze by conventional one-dimensional GC or GC/MS techniques. The efficient separation system enables to separate the components of the sample both on the basis of their boiling point and their polarity. Supported by the highperformance software, it for exmple does the group-type analyses of petroleum products based on the number of benzene rings or the number of carbon atoms in the side alkyl chains of aromatics. The separated groups may also be quantified and visualized in the 2D or 3D format.

Bench-top HPLC/MS system

The combination of ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC, Dionex + Orbitrap Exactive Plus, Thermo Scientific) on the normal and reversephase columns with high resolution mass spectrometry will be the powerful tool for separation, identification and quantification of components and their groups in the most complex samples, mainly from the biomass processing. Thanks to its Orbitrap mass analyzer, the Exactive Plus system delivers highresolution, accurate-mass full-scan MS for fast, precise and reproducible results and tremendous analytical confidence. System will be equipped by various ionization techniques for different types of organic compounds. The extremely high resolution of the MS detector will also enable the user to analyze samples by direct injection without LC separation.Moreover, all hyphenated techniques (GC,LC/MS) can find their application also in other fields, such as water and waste analysis, environmental protection, food safety, pharmacy, biochemistry etc.
