Identifying unknown organic molecules" seminar

  • Category: Seminar
  • Dates : July 7, 2023
  • Timetable: 10 to 11 a.m.
  • Location: CNRS Campus, Bât Balard Research - 19 Route de Mende, Montpellier

Identifying unknown molecular structures is now possible for all the 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 :

  • identification of unknown structures by unambiguous determination of atomic composition;
  • assigning crude formulas to organic compounds;
  • determining their elemental compositions and fine isotopic structures.

Two new features are also worth noting:

  • access to spectral databases to help identify unknown compounds;
  • Fragmentation data interpretation software (MSn) for analyzing complex mixtures and proposing possible structures with confidence scores.

The "What's in it for me?" seminars on the various technology and service platforms of the Pôle de recherche chimie de l'Université de Montpellier, are designed to broaden your knowledge of the various functions and latest technical advances of the many high-level technological, analysis and characterization facilities at your disposal.
