UHPLC-QqQ-MS/MS system is now available!
A triple quadrupole (TQ or QqQ) MS system is used to quantify components of a bio-sample or to analyze their structure with increased specificity and sensitivity, by using two mass filtration steps in series, separated by a collision cell. It enables precise quantification of even small amounts of molecules!

Refractive Index (RI) Detector system is now available!!
Refractive index (RI) detection is the standard approach for quantitatively detecting sugars via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
It can be applied to detect and isolate UV-undetectable bioactive natural products with no UV absorbance as well!
So powerful!!
2023.10.06.
New Biotage® MPLC System has been installed!
Higher pressure (140 psi) conditions can be applied to the pre-preparative process for the complex natural product crude extract!!
It will make our study more efficient by saving time!
