Analysis

Analysis

• Determination of total antioxidant activity of samples by Flow Injection Analysis - ElectroChemical Detection (FIA-ECD)
  
  • Samples of fruit (e.g. apples, currants, gooseberries, cherries)
  • Samples of material of plant origin (e.g. leaves, buds, flowers, bark, wood chips, pips)
  • Samples of drinks (e.g. beer, wine, juice)
  • Samples of urine
• Determination of antioxidants
  (Salicylic acid, p-Coumaric acid, Gallic acid, Caffeic acid, Ferulic acid, Syringic acid, Resveratrol, Phloretin, Kaempferol, (+)-Catechin, (-)-Epicatechin, Chlorogenic acid, Amygdalin, Phlorizin) in samples of fruit by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-MS; maximal working pressure: 400 bar).
• Determination of pesticides (neonicotinoids, organophosphates, carbamates) by UHPLC-MS
  • Samples of dead bees
  • Samples of pollen stocks and pollen grains
    
    
• Determination of DNA/RNA oxidative damage markers (8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosin, 8-hydroxyguanosin) by UHPLC-MS
  
  
• Determination of Glucosinolates, Rutin and Quercetin by UHPLC-MS
  
  • Samples of flour and baguette
    
    
• Determination of Rutin and Quercetin by High Performance Liquid Chromatography - Photometric Diode Array (HPLC-PDA)
  • Samples of flour and baguette

Analytical laboratory equipment with following devices

• HPLC - Coulochem (electrochemical detector)
• HPLC - CoulArray (multi-channel detector coulochemical)
• HPLC - DAD (UV/VIS)
• UHPLC-MS with triple quadrupole analyzer for quantitative analysis (highly sensitive technique suitable for trace analysis)
• UHPLC-MS with ion trap analyzer for qualititive analysis (identification of unknown substances)
• HPLC-EC-MS (ability to identify products of electrochemical oxidation/reduction, e.g. for metabolic prediction)

Application

• Food (natural antioxidants and other important substances, that affect aging, health and behaviour, vitality etc.)
• Pharmacy (development, quality control, metabolism, stability, assessment of substances in complex biological samples)
• Clinic and biology (e.g. assessment of vitamins, drugs, toxic substances, metabolite, hormones etc.)
