Mass spectrometry

LGC exploits the power of new mass spectrometry technologies and the intelligent coupling of modern separation methods to develop (primary) methods of analysis to improve accuracy, traceability and uncertainty, for ultra trace levels of analytes. These methods can be applied to complex matrices ranging from body fluids and tissues to foodstuffs and environmental samples.

We deliver investigative analysis and innovation to meet diverse requirements ranging from research-led discovery to flagship research including the Government Chemist and chemical and biological metrology programmes. 

Our accurate & traceable quantitative measurements support and underpin measurements, both locally and internationally, as part of the UK Chemical Calibration Facility (UKCCF).

With expertise ranging from traditional reagent-based methods to high throughput robotics, we have the flexibility to welcome new challenges.
