Mass Spectrometry - AIMS Lab

AIMS Laboratory - Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto

 

Instrumentation:

 

The Laboratory currently has 5 mass spectrometers:


  1. An AB/Sciex QStar mass spectrometer with an ESI source, MS/MS and accurate mass capabilities. There is an Agilent 1100 capillary LC system associated with this instrument.

  2. An AB/Sciex QStarXL mass spectrometer with an Ionics HSID interface, ESI source, MS/MS and accurate mass capabilities. There is an Agilent 1100 capillary LC system associated with this instrument.

  3. A Waters GC ToF mass spectrometer with EI/CI sources and accurate mass capability.

  4. A Sciex API4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with an ESI source, an Agilent 1100 HPLC and CTC/PAL autosampler. This instrument has MS/MS capability and is ideal for quantitation. Assistance in method development is available.

  5. A Waters MALDI micro MX. Researchers run their own samples on this instrument after training.
