Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

QTRAP 6500+ with Exion HPLC

Acquired in 2019, the QTRAP 6500+ is our fastest and most sensitive instrument for small molecule LC-MS/MS, providing the best limit of quantification (LOQ) for a broad scope of analytes. It is equipped with ESI and APCI ionization, as well as multiple scan modes, with a mass range of 40-1250 m/z.

QTRAP 5500 with Agilent HPLC

Our two QTRAP 5500’s are the workhorses of the lab, with established methods for many analytes including amino acids and their metabolites and neurotransmitters. Similar to the QTRAP 6500+, they are equipped with ESI and APCI ionization, multiple scan modes, and a mass range of 40-1250 m/z.

TSQ Altis

The TSQ Altis joined our fleet of mass spectrometers in September 2018. This triple quadrupole MS can quantify compounds at extremely low concentrations with high speed and sensitivity.

TripleTOF 6600 with Agilent HPLC

With a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass analyzer, this instrument enables analysis of complex samples at high resolution, with a mass selection range of 30-2250 m/z. It is our key instrument for lipidomics projects.

Gas Chromatography (GC-MS)

Agilent 7890A GC

The 7890A GC system is a state-of-the-art gas chromatograph that offers advanced separation capabilities and powerful productivity features. Its oven temperature control allows for fast and precise temperature ramping, providing optimal chromatography including peak symmetry and retention time repeatability.

Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IR-MS)

Delta V Plus

The Delta V Plus isotope ratio mass spectrometer is characterized by high sensitivity with excellent linearity and stability. It is designed to perform high precision measurements of isotope ratios of H/D, 13C/12C, 15N/14N, 18O/16O, 34S/32S, 37Cl/35Cl from a variety of materials.
