Mass Spectrometry
Services and Fees
The Mass Spectrometry Service Center may be used on a self-service basis but also provides full-service analysis for small molecules on a fee-for-service basis. This includes accurate mass analysis of small molecules, quantitative measurements of small molecules on the triple quad mass spectrometer using LC-MS/MS and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Other types of analyses include untargeted and targeted metabolomics measurements.
To submit samples, please fill out the sample submission form (PDF) and forward to ze.liu@wsu.edu. We are happy to hear from you and consult on any questions related to mass spectrometry.
Rates
To calculate full-service cost, technical support time is added to machine run time for the applicable instrument. Please note that the Xevo® G2-S QTof is available on a full-service basis only.
