The Department of Chemistry acquires a New Mass Spectrometer
The Mass Spectrometer is a Bruker micrOTOF-Q. It features precise mass
determination capabilities (20-40,000 m/z range), MS/MS and SigmaFitTM
isotopic analysis, making it possible to determine the formula of small
molecules, perform metabolic studies, analyze complex mixtures and
digests, and evaluate intact proteins.
