Instrumentation

Bruker Ultraflex III MALDI TOF/TOF is ideal for determination of molecular masses of non-volatile molecules in a range from 50 Da to 300,000 Da.

Thermo Electron Finnigan TSQ Quantum Ultra is ideal for determination of masses in complex mixtures and quantitative analyses in a very efficient manner.

Thermo Scientific LTQ ORBITRAP XL is ideal for high-resolution accurate mass measurements and structural characterization of individual compounds and complex mixtures with very high sensitivity.

Shimadzu GC/MS is ideal for analyses of volatile low-molecular weight compounds by electron ionization and chemical ionization, mixtures, and quantitative analyses.
