Mass Spectroscopy Facility
What MS is available:
There are a variety of communal MS instruments available in the MIB for researchers to use:
Open Access ESI-TOF
LC-MS- ESI-Trap
GC-Trap
And in the Proteomics facility
MALDI-TOF
LC—MS-ESI-Trap
There are many other groups in the MIB that use MS and have their own dedicated instruments, should you require a technique not available here you may be able to borrow time on their instruments.
What can MS do for you:
Fast, simple and accurate sample confirmation
Sample Accurate Mass determination
Whole protein mass determination
LC-MSn fragment and component analysis
Small molecule identification
Confirming and analysing purity of sample mixtures.
Unknown sample identification
