Shared Mass Spectrometry (MSMS) Facility

The MSMS Facility is an interdepartmental research service unit managed on behalf of the Medical College of Wisconsin by the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. The facility provides service and consultation for research projects requiring mass spectrometric analysis (fundamental, identification and quantitation) of a variety of organic compounds, peptides and proteins. The facility is operated under the supervision of the Oversight Committee. The facility operates on a fee for service basis and is open for faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin and outside researchers. 

Resources 

The MSMS Facility has various mass spectrometers with different configuration available for researchers' needs in analysis of their samples.

  • 7.0 Tesla Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FTICR) Mass Spectrometer This IonSpec Corporation electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure matrix assisted laser disorption ionization (AP-MALDI) - FTICR based on a 7 Tesla actively shielded superconducting magnet is interfaced with an Agilent 1100 Series capillary high performance liquid chromatograph. See picture and description.
  • Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer This Waters electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) - MS/MS is interfaced with a Waters 2695 Separations Module. See picture and description.
  • Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer This Agilent electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) - MSD SL model is interfaced with an Agilent 1100 Series high performance liquid chromatograph. See picture and description.
  • Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer This Agilent 5989A MS Engine is interfaced with a 5890 Series II gas chromatograph. See picture and description.
