It is of paramount importance to detect traces of life on Mars surface. Organic molecules are highly polar and if present on Mars require to be extracted from the dust sample, separated, concentrated, processed and analysed by an appropriate apparatus. PRE-ADAMO (PRebiotic Experiment - Activity of Dust And bioMolecules Observation) is a multi-steps approach for the identification of possible polar substances present on Mars. It was proposed as instrument of Pasteur payload for the ESA (European Space Agency) ExoMars rover mission. Main scientific objectives and experimental approach of PRE-ADAMO are here presented.

Abstract
It is of paramount importance to detect traces of life on Mars surface. Organic molecules are highly polar and if present on Mars require to be extracted from the dust sample, separated, concentrated, processed and analysed by an appropriate apparatus. PRE-ADAMO (PRebiotic Experiment - Activity of Dust And bioMolecules Observation) is a multi-steps approach for the identification of possible polar substances present on Mars. It was proposed as instrument of Pasteur payload for the ESA (European Space Agency) ExoMars rover mission. Main scientific objectives and experimental approach of PRE-ADAMO are here presented.
