Characterization
The LRGP has a technical platform dedicated to the extraction, purification, separation and characterization of biomolecules in complex mixtures, from agroressources, fish farming, frog farming co-products or bio-reactions by micro-organisms or enzymes.
The targeted biomolecules are essentially proteins, peptides, osidic polymers, phenolic compounds or enzymes.
Volumes range from laboratory scale (10 mL) to pilot scale (20 L).
The operations implement membrane, chromatographic, concentration and drying processes.
It is associated with an analytical platform including a large number of separation devices (UPLC, GFC, GC, EC, TLC) coupled with a wide range of detectors (photometric, mass…).
An analytical part (UPLC fractionation, Maldi-TOFTOF) is also present on the Structural and Metabolomic Analysis Platform of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Agronomie et des Industries Agroalimentaires (ENSAIA/PASM).
