Services
Two levels of service are available through the facility: staff-run sample analysis and user-run sample analysis. The facility is equipped to handle a variety of sample types including inorganic, organic, biological and technical polymer samples. If you have questions about your particular analysis needs, please contact our staff.Our Price List has a detailed listing of the types of analyses and their associated fees which are available through our facility. If you are unsure as to the type of instrumentation and/or analysis that should be performed on your sample, please contact our staff.
Instrumentation
At the present time, our facility is equipped with the following instrumentation: Micromass Q-TOF II, IonSpec HiRes ESI-FTICRMS, Micromass TOFSpec 2/e MALDI-TOFMS, HP GC-MS, PE/Sciex Elan 6000 ICP-MS.
Micromass Q-TOF II
The Q-TOF II is a hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The instrument is equipped with various electrospray and ionspray ionization sources. This instrument is primarily utilized for accurate mass measurements of low molecular weight organic compounds, electrospray analysis of soluble biological compounds, and for on-line LC-MS analysis.
IonSpec HiRes ESI-FTICRMS
The HiRes ESI-FTICRMS has a 4.7 T FTICR magnet and electrospray or microspray ionization sources. This instrument is used for accurate mass measurements of low to moderate organic compounds that are electrospray active. This instrument also allows for tandem MS studies of those same types of compounds. In addition, this instrument can be used for high resolution analysis of mixtures or high accuracy mass measurements of large biomolecules such as intact proteins.
Micromass TOFSpec 2/e MALDI-TOFMS
The TOF Spec 2/e is a reflectron MALDI-TOFMS. This instrument can be used for the rapid analysis of a large variety of samples including peptides, proteins, synthetic polymers, oligonucleotides, and higher molecular weight organic materials. In external calibration mode, the mass accuracy on this instrument is typically about 0.5%. Mass accuracy can be improved to 0.1-0.2% with internal calibration.
