Equipment General Analytics

Our general analytics comprehend various well-established chromatography and spectroscopy techniques. Those are mainly used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the substrates and products of our biotechnical or catalytic conversion processes.

• 12 HPLC systems with z.B. PDA, RI, FLD, ELSD for the determination of carboxylic acids, sugars etc. (Shimadzu, Knauer, Thermo)
