List of the instruments at Metabolomics Facility LC-MS/MS Q-Tof GC-MS Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometer Instrument Details Make : Agilent technologies, USA Model : 6520-Accurate Mass Q-TOF LC/MS. Specification : Direct Infusion Mass with ESI Positive & Negative mode ionization, mass ranging from 50 to 3200 m/z HPLC PDA Detector -Mass spectrometer Working Principles: Liquid chromatography / Mass Spectroscopy (LC / MS) is a technique which combines high performance liquid chromatography HPLC, a powerful analytical separation technique with mass spectrometry, a powerful analysis & detection technique. There is a common atmospheric pressure ionization (API) LC/MS process: Electrospray Ionization (ESI). API processes are also compatible with most mobile phase solvents (volatile) & volatile buffers. Main Features of the Instrument: Mass Range: 50-3200 m/z Resolution: 20000 FWHM High Mass Accuracy (Typically less than 2ppm) High Sensitivity Ionization Method : ESI positive & negative Direct Infusion for Mass Analysis (MS, MS /MS) MS/MS function: A. Sample Injection B. Ionization C. Fragmentation (CID) D. Ions travel through Quadruple and Time flight tube and reach the detector on the basis of their m/z value. Applications Qualitative Analysis Quantitative Analysis Impurity Profiling Metabolite Studies Pharmacokinetics Pharma & biomedical applications: Gas Chromatograph with high resolution Mass Spectrometer (GC-HRMS) Instrument Details Make of MS : LECO Model : Pegasus HT TOF MS Specifications : EI Source Time of Flight Analyzer Mass range -50 - 1000 amu Mass resolution - 1000 Make of GC : Agilent: 7890 A gas-chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometer (GC-MS) is a combined analyzer that has a superior ability in analyzing organic compounds qualitatively and quantitatively. User Instructions: Expected accurate mass can be provided. Solvent for mobile phase should be mentioned or solubility of compound in volatile solvent should be given. At present C8, C18 & others like cyano, amino, Si columns are available. You can submit the column of your interest for separation or repeatability of HP-LC run.
