Technology and instrumentation
Untargeted analysis Our instrumentation for untargeted analysis, which can utilise either very little or no sample preparation, is highly selective. This allows for the separation of signals from closely related compounds in terms of mass, retention time, or fragmentation spectra. This is a powerful tool for those looking to analyse a sample…

Biochemie
Wat is Biochemie? Biochemie is die bestudering van die molekulêrebasis van lewensverskynsels. Lewende organismes soos mense, diere, plante, swamme, bakteria en virusse is deur unieke chemikalieë opgemaak. Omdat hierdie chemikalieë so verskil van die verbindings wat in nie-lewendige sisteme voorkom, noem ons hulle…
Biochemistry
What is Biochemistry? Biochemistry is the study of the molecular basis of life. Living organisms such as humans, animals, plants, fungi, bacteria and viruses are made up of unique chemicals. Because these chemicals are so different from the chemical compounds found in non-living systems, we call them biomolecules. By studying…

Fisika
Wat is Fisika? Fisika poog om verskynsels in die natuur volgens wetenskaplike wette (bv. Newton se wette) op te som. Hierdie wette is geformuleer om vir ons kennis rakende die fisiese wêreld te voorsien. Fisika, tesame met vakke soos Chemie en verskeie verdelings van Wiskunde, vorm die basis van Wetenskap en Tegnologie. Hierdie vakke…
