Metabolome platform provides support for research in biology, environmental physiology, functional genomics and genetics in the context of regional, national and international collaborations. It is also used in the analysis of products derived from plants and other organisms.
The platform provides:
- Automated analyses on microplates: total proteins, starch, sucrose, glucose, fructose, malate, fumarate (under proviso), citrate, total free amino acids, glutamate, proline, chlorophylls a and b (from one extraction)
- Automated measurement of central-metabolism enzymes (glycolysis, TCA cycle, Calvin-pentose phosphates, sucrose metabolism, nitrogen assimilation)
Analytical Equipement
- Integrated pipetting robots,
- Temperature control,
- 11 UV/visible microplate readers and one multifunction microplate reader,
- A dedicated server for data storage and PC stations with a LIMS.
