Instrumentation
The Central Analytical Laboratory facility, located in room C1B90 in the JSC Biotechnology Building, currently houses several Waters UPLCs and five mass spectrometers to provide structural information on various samples (from small organic molecules to large proteins). The facility is available to analyze samples from the both University of Colorado and non-CU sources.
The following instruments are housed in the facility:
| Manufacturer | Model | Mass Analyzer | Ionization Methods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shimadzu | MALDI-7090-TOF/TOF | MALDI-TOF/TOF | MALDI |
| Thermo | Orbitrap Q-Exactive HF-X | Quadrupole-Orbitrap | ESI, nanospray |
| Thermo | Orbitrap Exploris 480 | Quadrupole-Orbitrap | ESI, nanospray |
| Thermo | ISQ GCMS | Single Quadrupole | EI |
| Waters | Synapt G2 HDMS | Quadrupole/ToF | ESI |
Our instruments are used to confirm the identity of various organic and inorganic compounds including liquid crystals, carboranes, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides using both positive and negative ionization modes.
