Facilities

SMS has several instruments for metabolomics and isotope analysis. In particular, high resolution GC-MS (shared with Mitovasc, CHU Angers), 13C-NMR (located at Moltech Anjou), nominal mass GC-MS, and isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) coupled to elemental analysis or gas chromatography. The IRMS instrument is part of the Isotope Facility of the Loire Valley  (PLI), which gathers IRMS facilities here at IRHS and CEISAM in Nantes.
