Abstract:
The laboratory of Chemical Analysis (LCA) of Ghent University was founded in 1992. LCA belongs to the department of Veterinary Public Health and Food Safety and has over 40 years of experience in the detection of residues and contaminants in matrices of animal origin (BELAC accredited under ISO 17025). Based on this elaborate experience, LCA aims to use the most recent, accurate and sensitive analytical methodology to detect, quantify or identify known and unknown residues, contaminants including micropollutants or food components as well as derivatives or metabolites hereof, within a variety of matrices of animal (or vegetable) origin to ensure food safety and quality. This vision is also reflected in the current and future ongoing research projects.

Part of the scientific research performed by LCA is related to the marine or estuarine environment:
- Analysis of micropollutants in the Belgian coastal zone;
- Food safety of seafood;
- The determination of endocrine disruption in the Scheldt Estuary;
- Metabolism and transfer of marine algal toxins to molluscs and the environment.

In the future, the group will continue to develop methods for multi-residue and multi-contaminant analysis of water and biota monsters, using high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS). This analysis will include emerging pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, phthalates, PFCs, phenols, hormones, antibiotics, etc. LCA will also elaborate on the analytical aspects associated with research on marine toxins. The metabolomics-approach, which is already used in several other research areas within the lab, will also serve as a basis for innovative research.

Taking into account the low concentrations of the components to be analysed (ppt or ppb) and the complexity of the matrices, high-tech equipment is required. For this purpose, the laboratory uses 1 LC-MSn and 1 U-HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS which enable the identification and quantification of components and their residues and/or metabolites in complex matrices. Besides that, LCA also has 3 high-resolution apparatus: 1 U-HPLC-Orbitrap-MS, 1 U-HPLC-(Q)-Orbitrap-MS and 1 REIMS-Q-ToF, which allow for multi-component screening, biomarker and metabolome studies. Furthermore, LCA participates in several national projects and collaborates intensively with the laboratory of Environmental Toxicology and Aquatic Ecology (Ugent) and the Operational Directorate Natural Environment of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS).
