Instrumentation

My laboratory space within the Organic and Biological Mass Spectrometry Group occupies approximately 1,100 sq ft in Building 4500S.

Instrumentation fully accessible for my research includes:

Mass Spectrometers

» PE SCIEX API 165 single quadrupole mass spectrometer
» PE SCIEX API 365 triple quadrupole mass spectrometers
» AB/MDS SCIEX 4000 Q Trap triple quadrupole linear ion trap
   hybrid mass spectrometer
        Each of the above instruments is equipped for electrospray,
        nano-electrospray, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization,
        and atmospheric pressure photoionization.
» Finnigan Voyager GC/MS (EI and CI)
