Got 11 results.
Analytical GC & LC

In the Chromatography Lab whole oil analyzes are performed with special attention to saturated hydrocarbons, highly volatile organic compounds, and lipid fractions (e.g. fatty acids, alcohols, sterols).
Aqueous Chemistry

For quantification of organic (e.g. acetate, formate) and inorganic anions (e.g. chloride, sulfate) in aqueous samples ion exchange chromatography is used.

The quantification of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in aqueous samples and chromato…
High-res MS

FT-ICR-MS is applied for the characterization of polar compounds like NSO (nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen containing organic compounds) in fossil and recent geological samples (sediments, sedimentary rocks, coals, soils, and water samples), assessment …
Micro-Raman Spectroscopy Laboratory

The Micro-Raman Spectroscopy Laboratory (Sections 3.1 and 3.2) uses a Horiba Jobin Yvon LabRAM HR Evolution Raman spectrometer equipped with a motor-driven x-y table and an Olympus optical microscope. Depending on the experiment two different laser …
Microscopy

The microscopy lab comprises facilities for reflected-light microscopy for organic petrography.

Reflected light microscopy is applied in the field of organic petrography for the reconstruction of facies, determination of thermal maturity and de…
Organic Clean Lab

This lab will be dedicated for the contamination-free workup and analysis of ultra-trace abundances of soluble organics and samples for molecular biological studies. Currently, it is under construction.
Organic-geochemical Laboratories

In the Organic-geochemical Laboratories both biotic and abiotic transformation processes of sedimentary organic matter from shallow to deep, young to old, terrestrial to marine, and from molecular to basin scales are investigated.

The Organic-ge…
Pyrolysis Lab

For the thermal decomposition of organic matter different pyrolysis techniques are applied. They are used in combination with different gas chromatographic methods such as gas chromatography, gas chromatography mass spectrometry and gas chromatograp…
Solid State Analyses

For solid state analyses, a thermo combustion based CHN analysis of organic materials is applied.  

Further, a Horiba LabRAM HR Evolution Raman spectrometer with motor driven table and Olympus microscope can be used. This spectrometer is equipped…
Stable Isotope Lab

The Stable Isotope Lab addresses stable hydrogen isotope analysis of lipids and hydrocarbons (lean samples), stable carbon isotope analysis of lipids, hydrocarbons, gases (lean samples), stable carbon and hydrogen isotope analysis (rich samples) as …
Wet & prep Chemistry

The preparation laboratory includes facilities for the extraction of the soluble organic matter from sediments, sedimentary rocks, coals, microbial cultures and water samples using flow-blending-extraction and ultrasonic-extraction tools. Further, m…
