The division for Advanced Analytical Technologies is a chemistry-focused unit, delivering research and innovation in analytical methods as well as its technological transfer. We address current pressing challenges in the industry and society, in the context of mobility, environment and energy, with unique analytical platforms. We organize our activities around three research topics, i.e. (i) advanced chemical analysis, (ii) air quality and pollutants, and (iii) spectrochemistry. The activities cover both the “mainstream analytics” with state-of-the-art tools as well as the “pioneering analytics” with self-developed tools.
