Integrative analytical workflow to enhance comprehensive analysis of organic molecules in extraterrestrial objects.

Molecular identification is a fundamental issue in astrobiology to investigate the routes of emergence of life on our planet involving in particular a potential seeding of extraterrestrial organic matter on the primitive Earth. However, this project encompasses major difficulties due to the low concentration of molecules present in bodies of the Solar System. This work proposes an integrative analytical workflow, no longer based on GC-MS instruments, to enhance comprehensive analysis of organic markers in these objects.
