About IIM

The Institute of Marine Research (IIM-CSIC) is one of the main marine research centers in the Iberian Peninsula. Looking at the Atlantic from Vigo, a city with a strong connection with the sea, the IIM-CSIC faces the challenge of increasing our knowledge about the ocean, from its physical characteristics to the food we take from it and the processes that bind the whole system together.

Research

Research is at the core of the Institute of Marine Research's work. Working along 3 Core Research Themes, which intertwine and connect to each other, the researchers and technicians at the IIM-CSIC look for answers within 9 different research lines.

Innovation

While our research provides us with new knowledge about our sea and shores, at the Institute of Marine Research we are committed to go a step further, creating new collaborations with the industry and other economic activities, be they already 'established' industries, such as fisheries or aquaculture, or 'emerging' ones, such as ocean observation.

Society

Science is not complete until it is shared with society. As a public research institution, the IIM understands that its commitment is with society, fostering a two-way relationship with its surrounding community and an open perspective on science.

Work & Study

Marine scientists, lab technicians, biologists, chemists and engineers, but also economists, lawyers or communicators (both working and in training) contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of our center. With more than 200 employees, the IIM-CSIC is a large community of people who work together for the sake of science, knowledge and sustainability.

Advanced Chromatography and Omics

  4. Advanced Chromatography and Omics

The Institute's Advanced Chromatography & Omics service (ACOS) is an analytical service mainly focused on providing analyses by means of chromatographic techniques, transversally aimed at all the IIM-CSIC's research groups.

The service is performed using  five HPLC systems equipped with UV-VIS detectors, fluorescence, IR, Light Scattering and Mass Spectrometry (MS), and its capabilities are expanded thanks to the use of four other gas chromatography devices with FID detection, a Purge and Trap MS system, and a headspace MS system.

ACOS was recently granted an EQUIPA 2021 Aid from the Spanish State Research Agency (AEI) for the purchase of a High Resolution Tribrid Mass Spectrometer, which will certainly expand the service's capabilities. Starting in 2023, thanks to this new instrumentation, ACOS will be able to carry out analytical determinations encompassed under the umbrella of Advanced Proteomics, Lipidomics and Metabolomics technologies. 

The service also intends to expand beyond the center itself, eventually allowing ACOS to attend to other requests from the Galician, Spanish and Northern Portuguese scientific community.

Objectives & Tasks

  • Carrying out maintenance and fine-tuning of general-purpose chromatographic equipment.
  • Carrying out different chromatographic determinations of metabolites and compounds such as fatty acid and hydrocarbon methyl esters by GC-MS, nucleotides and amines in acid extracts from fishery products by HPLC, polysaccharides and compounds obtained by recovery of fishery by-products by HPLC with IR detection, Light Scattering, etc.
  • Providing requesting groups with support in compound determination by means of chromatographic techniques.
