The Departmental Analytical Lab houses two mass spectrometers, a Thermo LCQ Advantage LC-MS and a Bruker OmniFLEX MALDI-TOFMS.

  • The Thermo LCQ Advantage LC-MS is an LC-MSn instrument that can be used with electrospray ionization (ESI) or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) sources.
  • The OmniFLEX MALDI-TOFMS is a benchtop system used for analysis of large molecules.

To access the LC-MS and/or MALDI, users must set up an account. Please check the respective webpages for details and contact information.
