Take a Virtual tour of MSREC!
Congratulations to our own Dr Manasi Kamat for winning the Females in Mass Spectrometry Empowerment Award!!!
NOTICE! In-person self-operation is now open. Reserve your time on the calendar!
Welcome to the University of Florida Department of Chemistry Mass Spectrometry Research and Education Center. Our goal is to provide a valuable resource to complex research needs through access to a wide variety of mass spectrometry instruments, bioinformatic tools and highly trained staff. We offer both routine services and advanced research based projects. Please contact Dr. Basso (fkn Kari. B Green) for information on samples or projects. We look forward to serving your mass spectrometry needs. A list of just some of our services is described below. See MSREC Services for more detailed information.

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.
-
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 two instruments available for self operation?!
The Autoflex MALDI and Agilent TOF 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 Q Exactive HF Orbitrap with a Dionex nanRSLC. 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
-
SDS-PAGE Services
We are now offering 1D SDS-PAGE for protein separation before protein sequencing as a new service.
