The CoreMarketplace: Montana State University

The Montana State Mass Spectrometry (MSMS) Facility provides instrumentation and methods for MS based research at MSU, external academics, and industry. The facility houses seven mass spectrometers that enable mass analysis of a range of analytes; e.g. volatiles and semi-volatiles, biomolecules, environmental contaminants, and elements.

Common applications performed include untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics, small molecule quantitation, and elemental compositional confirmation.

The facility has the following mass spectrometers:
-Waters Synapt-XS Q-IMS-TOF with Waters I-Class UHPLC
-Agilent 6538 Q-TOF with Agilent 1290 UHPLC
-Agilent 7800 Inductively Coupled Plasma with Laser Ablation (193 nm)
-Bruker micrOTOF with Agilent 1290 UHPLC
-Agilent 6490 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
-Bruker MALDI Autoflex
-Agilent GC-MS
-Waters Synapt G2S-i Q-TOF with Ion Mobility
