Chemistry mass spectrometry facility

A specialised service utilising state-of-the-art mass spectrometry to accelerate the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds in your research.

Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry

We have state of the art instrumentation to analyse most classes of small, medium and large organic compounds with liquid or gas chromatography, direct infusion, Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe (ASAP) and MALDI coupled to mass spectrometers.

Mass spectrometry facility and instrumentation

ICP MS

Inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-based techniques are utilised to determine elemental ratios and analyse inorganic species. We can detect and quantify the full range of elements in the periodic table by ICP MS or emission.
