You supply to us ...
A filled-out MS Service Request Form providing the following information:
- sample name, proposed structure, molecular formula, MW, suitable solvents,
- the required measurements and analysis, and
- your contact and accounting information (KSt).
The Form is available from Mr. Erben in the MS Lab and will soon be available online.
For standard service, at least 10 µg of sample should be supplied, either in solution or in dry form. For ESI-MS, the sample must be soluble in an organic or aqueous solvent.
Special Services (see below) are performed on request after appropriate discussion of the problem at hand.
We perform ...

- Advion NanoMate ESI-MS Sprayer coupled to a Triple-Stage Quadrupole MS system (TSQ 7000)
Standard Service:
Nominal molecular weight determination
(mass accuracy: ± 0.3 Da in the range 50 - 2000 Da).
The analyses are routinely performed using an Advion NanoMate Sprayer coupled to a triple-stage quadrupole mass sSpectrometer (TSQ 7000).
Special Service (on request):
Collision activation and fragment ion analysis for detailed structural information.
Exact mass determination using nanoESI-QTOF-MS.
(mass accuracy: ± 10 ppm)
Molecular weight determination of purified proteins by nanoESI-QTOF-MS.
Quantitation of stable-isotope labeling in small molecules (MW < 2000 Da).
We return to you ...
The ESI-MS spectra of your samples as printout or in electronic form (on request) including a basic annotation of the spectra. If desired, we supply an individual discussion of your spectra. Spectra are archived on a server of the ZDV.
