Metabolomics

The group runs the IBG-2 metabolomics platform, currently the institute is equipped with

• a LECO GC-TOF,
• an Agilent GC-quad,
• an Agilent LC-triple Quad, and
• a Dionex HPAEC-PAD for sugar measurements.

These are mainly used for targeted analysis of sugars, nucleotide sugars, pigments, secondary metabolites etc. However also untargeted profiling can be performed by the GC-TOF.
In the case of cell walls the IBG-2 also has a confocal microscope to evaluate antibody stains for cell wall epitopes and (will soon have) a large scale sample preparation robot.
