This platform is implanted in the Pharmacology and Immunoanalysis unit (SPI); it comprises 5 liquid chromatography instruments together with mass spectrometers triple quadrupole analyzers (UPLC-MS/MS). SMArt-MS can access if needed to the high-resolution instruments of MetaboHUB platform. Human resources of the platform are composed of a CEA engineer, two CEA technicians and non-statutory personnel.​

Our missions are:

  • Development and validation of quantitative bioanalysis methods by LC-MS/MS of small molecules in biological fluids and achievement of the analyzes using these methods
  • The realization of metabolism and pharmacokinetic pilot studies (early ADME-DMPK)
  • The training of contractual staff using the devices assigned to the platform.​
