Seminar What is it for?… “Identifying unknown organic molecules”
This event has passed!
Identifying unknown molecular structures is now possible for all research teams at the University of Montpellier and its partners.
Come and discover our latest acquisition: an ID-X mass spectrometer with ultra-high-resolution LC-MSn coupling. This new mass spectrometer enables:
- the identification of unknown structures through the unambiguous determination of atomic composition;
- the assignment of gross formulas for organic compounds;
- the determination of their elemental compositions and fine isotopic structures.
Two new features are also worth noting:
- access to spectral databases to assist in the identification of unknown compounds;
- fragmentation data interpretation software (MSn) that enables the analysis of complex mixtures and suggests possible structures with confidence scores.
The "What is it for?" seminars on the various technology and service platforms offered by the Chemistry Research Cluster at the University of Montpellier aim to broaden your knowledge of the different features and latest technical advances in the many high-level technological, analytical, and characterization tools available to you.
