Gas Chromatography Fingerprint of Martian Amino Acids before Analysis of Return Samples

Résumé

Within the perspective of the current and future space missions, the detection and separation of building blocks such as amino acids are important subjects which are becoming fundamental in the search for the origin of life and traces of life in the solar system. In this work, we have developed and optimized a strategy adapted to space experimentation to detect the presence of amino acid-like compounds using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Selected derivatization methods meet the instrument design constraints imposed on in situ extraterrestrial experiments. Coupled to a fast selective extraction, GC analysis would be highly efficient for the detection of organic materials. In the future, the corresponding GC-MS TIC could facilitate simple and fast selection of sediments/dust samples onboard GC-MS-equipped rovers for sample return-to-Earth missions.
