Submitting Samples and Rates

Instructions for Submitting Samples to the Mass Spectrometry Facility

  1. If you do not know what kind of service you need please contact Dr. Kari Basso .
  2. Download/save to fill out a service request form (please type the information directly into the form): To type directly into the form you can save the file and when you open it in Adobe Reader you should have the ability to type in the forms. Or you can open it from the web using Adobe Acrobat Pro and type in directly.
  3. ON CAMPUS    Please download/save if you are affiliated with University of Florida.
  4. OFF CAMPUS Please download/save if you are an Off-Campus user.
  5. SELF OP  Please download if you are a Self-OP user.
  6. You have the ability to insert your structure directly as a image (jpeg tiff etc). Download the Service Request Form.  Save your Chem Draw as an image file. Click on the Image icon and and follow the guidance in choosing the image to insert. If you only have Adobe Reader you will be able to type in the form fields but not insert an image. You will need to attach your image on a separate sheet.
  7. Please fill the form out completely and with as much information as possible about your sample. You may use one form for several samples submitted at the same time if you prefer. After you fill it out, you can save the file by selecting “File”, “Save As”.
  8. Print the form when you are done or email it to Dr. Laura Bailey.
  9. Bring the printed form and the sample(s) to the UF Chemistry Laboratory Building (CLB), room 101, between 9 am and 4 pm weekdays.
  10. If you are mailing the samples, please use Fed-Ex or UPS as a carrier and ship the form and samples to:

    Dr. Kari Basso
    1680 Union Rd
    126 Sisler Hall/Department of Chemistry
     Gainesville FL 32611

  11. All data is stored electronically. We will email results to you.
  12. Samples will be discarded unless requested to return.
  13. Please read
