Spectroscopy of semi-solid samples (tissues, foodstuffs, etc.)

TECHNIQUE
Heterogeneous sample analysis technique for biomedical and food applications.
The Bruker AVIII 500MHz equipment available at BioImaC is equipped with AVIII HD technology and different types of RF probes for sample analysis.
The HR-MAS (1H / 13C / 31P) probe is widely used for metabolomic studies, with application in BIOMEDICINE (analysis of tissue samples such as liver, brain, kidney, veins, lung, etc., and of urine, blood and other biological fluids) and in FOOD (analysis of samples of fruit, fish, cheese, meat, etc.). HR-MAS is characterised by the fact that it uses very small samples, without any type of sample manipulation and at controlled temperature.

SAMPLES ANALYSED
A wide variety of samples in an intermediate state between liquid and solid (heterogeneous samples), such as intact biological tissue, biological fluids, foodstuffs, etc.
