Analytical Chemistry

Successful scale-up of biobased technologies necessitates robust, reproducible and reliable analytical chemistry methods. MSU BI performs  extensive analytical analyses for product characterization and quality control. We utilize standard industry protocols and methods to characterize and quantify sample composition and with decades of experience, we know the critical metabolite(s) to monitor based on the organism and/or pathway. Additionally, our in-house analytical staff can customize protocols and methods on an individual project basis.
