From Spectroscopy to Spectrometry
SCIEX ExionLC AD UHPLC - QTRAP 6500+ MS
SCIEX ExionLC AD UHPLC - QTRAP 6500+ MS
Our SCIEX system supports targeted metabolomics and micronutrient analyses. We have developed robust methods for measuring mulitple B-vitamins, as well as for water-soluble forms of choline & related metabolites, in human milk and blood samples (including plasma/serum, red blood cells, or whole blood).
Agilent 1290 Infinity II UHPLC - 6495D TQ MS
Agilent 1290 Infinity II UHPLC coupled with the 6495D Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
Our Agilent LC-MS system I represents our latest addition to support targeted metabolomics and micronutrient analysis. This powerful system is currently optimized for comprehensive micronutrient blood sample analysis by simultaneous measurement of multiple B-vitamins and water-soluble choline-related metabolites across plasma/serum, red blood cells, or whole blood — all from a single sample extract. This method was introduced at the ASN Nutrition Conference 2025.
Perkin Elmer NexION 2000 ICP-MS
Perkin Elmer NexION 2000 ICP-MS
Our ICP-MS system enables precise macro- and trace-element analysis of human milk and plasma samples. For more challenging sample types, our laboratory is equipped with the CEM MARS 6 microwave digestion system, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Agilent 1260 HPLC-MWL
Agilent 1260 HPLC-MWL
Our Agilent 1260 HPLC system is equipped with a binary pump and a multi-wavelength detector, enabling the simultaneous detection of multiple wavelengths. This system is currently utilized for the quantification of vitamins A and E, delivering reliable results with high throughput efficiency.
Agilent 1200 HPLC-DAD/FLD
Agilent 1200 HPLC-DAD/FLD
Our Agilent 1200 HPLC system features a quaternary pump paired with both a diode array and fluorescence detector, allowing for a broader range of detection capabilities. Previously utilized for vitamin B1 vitamer analyses in human milk and red blood cells, this methodology has since been transferred to LC-MS applications, and the system is currently reserved for occasional use.
KPM Neonatal Anlayzer - Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
SpectraStar 2600 XT Neonatal Analyzer
Neonatal Analyzer — dedicated exclusively to macronutrient analysis of human milk — employs near-infrared spectroscopy to deliver rapid, reliable measurements of lipids, protein, carbohydrates, lactose, and energy content. Samples undergo homogenization by sonication prior to analysis to ensure measurement accuracy.
