Fields of interest are element species analytics, separation techniques, food chemistry, humansensorics and chemo- and biosensors. The insitute is organised in five workgroups.
Chemo- and Biosensors
Sensor Materials
The Sensor Materials group is dedicated to development of new sensing schemes and the synthesis of tailor-made indicators, receptors and polymeric sensor materials.
Applied Sensors
The Applied Sensor group is dedicated to the application of new sensor technologies in biotechnology and environmental analyses.
Element Analysis
The group for Element analysis is dedicated to the development of new analytical techniques and apparatus for the determination of elements in organic and inorganic materials. In addition the group runs a laboratory for contract analysis.
Food Chemistry and Sensory Science
The Food Chemistry and Human Sensory Analysis group is focussed on the flavour and off-flavour of foods. The combination of state-of-the-art instrumentation for the identification of odour active compounds and the sensory evaluation of the products in the sensory test lab allow deep insight into the flavour properties of the investigated product.
Separation Techniques
The primary research goal is organic trace analysis including the development of new analytical methods and instruments as well as the improvement of existing techniques with respect to precision, accuracy, time consumption, costs and detection limits.
