Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry instruments include a 1989 Hewlett-Packard 5970 Mass Selective Detector with 5890 GC and PC based data-system, a 1992 and 1993 Fisons VG Quattro-SQ and -TQ mass spectrometers equipped for Electron Impact, Chemical Ionization and Electrospray, and a 1992 Fisons VG AutoSpec double focusing, high resolution instrument equipped for Electron Impact, Chemical Ionization, GC/MS, Liquid Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, and Field Desorption. 2000 Finnigan LCQ-DUO with HP1100 Series HPLC.

2001 Agilent GC/MS 5973N Mass Selective Detector with 6890 GC

In a grant from Agilent Technologies, the CIF has received a new GC/MS system consisting of a 5973N Mass Selective Detector, a 6890 Plus Gas Chromatograph, and a 7683 Autoinjector. With this instrument students will be able to separate complex sample mixtures and record the mass spectra using Electron Ionization or Chemical Ionization.

 

1992 Fisons VG Quattro-SQ

Single quad mass spectrometer equipped for Electron Impact, Chemical Ionization and Electrospray, present condition outstanding.

1993 Fisons VG Quattro-TQ

Triple quad mass spectrometer equipped for Electron Impact, Chemical Ionization and Electrospray, present condition outstanding.

 

1992 Fisons VG AutoSpec

Double focusing, medium resolution instrument equipped for Electron Impact, Chemical Ionization, GC/MS, Liquid Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, Field Desorption; purchased in December, 1992; installed in November, 1993; present condition 'outstanding.'

2000 Finnigan LCQ-DUO with HP1100 Series HPLC

Ion-trap based mass spectrometer with APCI and electrospray interface. Additional capabilities include MS/MS experiments.

 

Experimental Methods Available:

Electrospray: Quattro capability with Singly charged specie to 4000amu and multiply charged specie to several tens of kDaltons.

High Resolution Techniques: Applicable to AutoSpec only and include all techniques already mentioned for the instrument (GCMS, EI/CI, positive/negative ion, and LSIMS).
