Mass spectrometry
Available for external use?
Yes
Comments
Mass spectrometry service applied to the structural identification and quantification of small molecules in complex matrices. Experience in the analysis of different type of samples (biological fluids, natural products extracts, food extracts), and analites (new drugs, degradation products, contaminants, biomarkers).
Equipment
Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer (Micromass Quattro Micro API, Waters)
Service type: self-service or full-service?
Full-service
Comments
The Mass spectrometer available is a Triple Quadrupole mass spectrometer (Micromass Quattro Micro API, Waters) equipped with as ESI and APCI ion sources. The service is available for users on a "do-it-yourself” basis (self-service), for long term studies; however, a initial training period is required. A technician is also available (full-service). Depending on the use (direct infusion or analysis by LC-MS/MS) the training may tak one or three days.
