Seminar: What Is It For?… “Identifying Unknown Organic Molecules”
This event has already taken place!
Identifying unknown molecular structures is now possible for all research teams at the University of Montpellier and its partners.

Come see our latest addition: an ID-X mass spectrometer, an ultra-high-resolution LC-MSn system. This new mass spectrometer enables:
- the identification of unknown structures through the unambiguous determination of their atomic composition;
- the structural formulae of organic compounds;
- the determination of their elemental compositions and fine isotopic structures.
Two new features are also worth noting:
- access to spectral databases to aid in the identification of unknown compounds;
- software for interpreting mass spectrometry (MS) data that enables the analysis of complex mixtures and suggests possible structures along with confidence scores.
The “What’s It For?” workshops offered by the various technology and service platforms of the University of Montpellier’s Chemistry Research Cluster are designed to expand your knowledge of the different features as well as the latest technical advancements in the wide range of state-of-the-art analytical and characterization equipment available to you.
