analysis of organic trace substances with chromatographic-massspectrometric separation techniques, e.g. LC-MSMS
I am a PhD candidate in the Environmental Microbiology research group, working on the OTC-Genomics project which is funded by the BMBF and part of the Ocean Technology Campus Rostock. My work focuses on analysing water samples for pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and UV filters using solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In my dissertation, I investigate the pathways through which these contaminants enter the environment and assess the potential risks they pose to aquatic organisms.
