Through CEFSER, the lab equipment is substantially reinforced primarily with installation of the highly sophisticated ultraperformance liquid chromatograph with triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS). Additionally, the existing equipment is upgraded towards the optimal usage of the resources. In this way, LabCHEMCONT is fully equipped for the analysis of known and emerging contaminants in food and the environment, representing a modern analytical centre and an attractive partner for the joint research.
