Mass Spectrometry
LC-QToF mass spectrometer
The Mass Spectrometry Facility provides an analytical service for biologically relevant “small” molecules (<1000 daltons) using mass spectrometry and HPLC. We can carry out targeted/quantitative analysis of specific compounds and non-targeted metabolite profiling (metabolomics). Bespoke methods are developed as required.
The Mass Spectrometry Facility is in Biosciences (Biocatalysis Building, Streatham Campus). It houses three mass spectrometers and an HPLC system in a dedicated lab, run by Experimental Officer Dr Dyan Ankrett.
The facility supports researchers across the University and also across the wider community by undertaking external collaboration and contract research.
We carry out data analysis and assist researchers in the interpretation and understanding of the data acquired from our mass spectrometers and HPLC systems. Using these instruments we can analyse most types of biologically relevant compounds (although we currently can not offer a proteomics service).
