LABORATORY OF MOLECULAR AND ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY

ABOUT

Created in 1989, LAGOA is a laboratory that congregates activities related to molecular geochemistry, petroleomics and an environmental chemistry. The laboratory is accredited by the National Agency of Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANP) and executes partnerships with companies and research groups, with main focus on molecular characterization of complex matrices and geochemical interpretation of petroleum and environmental ecology, environmental pollution and oil spills into the sea.
