NEWS!!!
- MSREC is pleased to announce the installation of a new Bruker Autoflex LRF. This instrument is capable of MALDI imaging (molecular tissue imaging). This instrument is also available for training for self operation!
Bruker Autoflex LRF installed fall 2018
- The new Q Exactive HF Orbitrap is installed and running real samples!! Come check out the lab! In one year we have $1.5M of new instruments!
- The submitted proposal NIH S10 OD021758-01A1 Titled “Acquisition of a Q Exactive HF Hyrbid Quadrupole-Orbitrap” has been awarded to the MSREC!!! Stay tuned for installation dates!
- The MSREC is excited to announce the installation of a Bruker Impact Qq-TOF Ultra-high resolution LC-MS/MS system
Stop in a see our latest installation. Finally we have ultra-high resolution LC-MS/MS capabilities in the Mass Spectrometry Facility! We are already running samples and projects on it.
- Arrived!! The new Bruker Microflex LRF. Operation will begin Thursday September 21.
We are acquiring a new Bruker Microflex MALDI TOF to replace the aging and outdated AB Sciex MALDI. -
We have installed autosamplers on the LCQ DECA and the DSQ GC-MS
Now you can load up to 100 samples and run overnight and improve reproducibility in your data!
-
Did you know we have three instruments available for self operation?!
The Microflex MALDI, Thermo LCQ DECA LC-MS, and the Thermo DSQ GC-MS are all available for self operation after training.

Now Offering Protein Sequencing & Other Proteomic Services
We have expanded our services to include proteomic experiments utilizing our new Thermo Scientific LTQ-XL with Easy Nano-LC. The service includes sample preparation, gel electrophoresis, sample digestion, LC-MS/MS and the bioinformatics (database searching, PTM analysis, etc). Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are available
