Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer incl. high-performance liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS)

土壤科学研究所（AG Amelung）在a)植物保护产品、b)兽药、c)人用药物、d)全氟表面活性剂和e)生物标记物的调查方面具有广泛和长期的经验。这一经验涵盖了不同的尺度（表面吸收、扩散成团聚体、表土排放、农业生态系统分布）和区域（温带、亚热带、热带）。新增项目“真菌毒素在土壤中的发生、吸附和消散”于今年启动。所有这些分析都是几个当前和未来研究项目的核心组成部分。对于所有上述项目和目标物质，必须使用三重四极杆质谱仪（LC-MS/MS）。现有的LC-MS/MS系统是在2005年购买的，现在已经超过14年了。相当长一段时间以来，维修成本一直超过经济效益。由于该仪器只能在LC-MS模式下操作，因此对我们来说，新的采集是最紧迫和优先的。此外，“Molekularen Lebensmitteltechnologie”和“Lebensmittelchemie”的加入使两个位置优越的工作组能够争取到共同使用。这使得购买一套新的LC-MS/MS系统是完全合理的。

The Institute of Soil Science (AG Amelung) has extensive and long-standing experience in the investigation of a) plant protection products, b) veterinary drugs, c) human drugs, d) perfluorinated surfactants and e) biomarkers. This experience covers different i) scales (sorption at surfaces, diffusion into aggregates, discharge from topsoil, distribution in the agroecosystem) and ii) regions (temperate latitudes, subtropics, tropics). A new addition project "Occurrence, adsorption and dissipation of mycotoxins in soils" started in this year. All these analyses are central components of several current and future research projects. A Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) is mandatory for all mentioned projects and target substances. The existing LC-MS/MS system was purchased in 2005 and is now more than 14 years old. Repair costs have been exceeding the economic efficiency for quite some time. Since the instrument can only be operated in LC-MS mode, a new acquisition is of highest urgency and priority for us. In addition, the inclusion of the "Molekularen Lebensmitteltechnologie " and the "Lebensmittelchemie" has enabled two excellently positioned working groups to be won over for joint use. This constellation makes the acquisition of a new LC-MS/MS system absolutely reasonable.
