Laboratorija CH IHTM izvodi različita hemijska ispitivanja organskih i neorganskih jedinjenja:

The CH IHTM laboratory is one of the best-equipped laboratories of its kind in the country. In addition to standard instrumental equipment (UV/Vis spectrophotometer, gas and liquid chromatographs, FTIR spectrometer, mass spectrometer), the laboratory has two NMR spectrometers for performing sophisticated experiments, as well as a laboratory for elemental analysis. By combining the methods of mass, NMR and FTIR spectroscopy, gas and liquid chromatography, and microanalysis, it is possible to determine the structures of almost all organic molecules and biomolecules, analyze air, water and soil pollutants, alcoholic beverages, herbs, essential oils, fats, various drugs, dyes, plastics, etc.

The CH IHTM laboratory participates in the organization and performance of graduate, master's, and doctoral theses in applied spectroscopy and chromatography such as metabolomics, the chemistry of natural products, and forensics.

The accredited laboratory offers expert advice and services to scientific institutions, industry, and individuals.

As part of its special activities, the CH IHTM laboratory applies accredited testing methods which are used for:

• Identification of the structure of an unknown compound
