Overview
The Centre for Mass Spectrometry was founded 2002 as is a central service unit of the chemical oriented institutes and is located in the Institute of Organic Chemistry.
The centre hosts several MS types (QTof, Tof, Quadrupol, Triplequad), inlet types (UPLC, HPLC, GC, direct inlet) and ionization methods (EI, CI, APCI, ESI) in modern laboratories.
Mass spectrometers and sample submission
The Centre for Mass Spectrometry hosts for mass spectrometers, which were bought and sustained by the members:
- HR UPLC-MS/MS: Waters Xevo G2 QTof (ESI- und APCI-MS/MS) with UPLC (Waters Acquity incl. PDA detector)
- Direct inlet HR-EI-MS: Waters GCT Premier
- HR-GCMS (EI/CI): Waters GCT Premier
- GC-MS: Agilent 7890 + HP 5977B MSD
In addition, eight MS instruments (five analytical ESI-LC/MS (Orbitrap, QTof, Tof & Triplequad), one semi preparative ESI-LC-MS, two preparative ESI-LC-MS, and one MALDI-Tof) owned by the members were supported by the centre for mass spectrometry.
Since winter 2024, the Mass Spectrometry Center has been part of CoreNAT, the research equipment platform of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. Our equipment can be found in the Small Molecules and Metabolomics section. Since joining, all other information such as usage regulations and price overviews for internal and external users can be found centrally here.
