METABOMER : Mass Spectrometry Core Facility
Main activity
As a component of Biogenouest's CORSAIRE platform, METABOMER encompasses scientific mass spectrometry equipment on its site in Roscoff, for metabolism investigations - from cells to the entire ecosystem, thanks to the characterisation of small molecules and macromolecules, and to isotope tracing.

Description
Specific experience on marine matrix. Supports freeze-dried and crushed samples for extraction (and derivation for GC). Research of specific metabolites.
The comparison of the spectra can be done either in relation to standards present in the laboratory or in relation to the databases. For example, we perform analyzes of amino acids, fatty acids, sterols ...

Description
Specific experience on marine matrix. Supports freeze-dried and crushed samples for extraction (and derivation for GC). Optimization of the operating modes for your specific matrix. Several different strains or a control strain can be compared with respect to several treatment conditions. Then by statistical analysis, we note the m/z ratios of interest that can be broken down into MS2 for more information. Thanks to the correlation of the spectra with our standards present in the laboratory, the databases or with the exact masses, we can respectively determine a structure, propose a supposed structure or finally propose a rough formula.
