Facility personnel update
October 2024: At the end of the year, both Dr. Richard Smith and Val Goodfellow will retire. The department has hired Dr. Yiming Xiao as Facility Manager and Dr. Joshua Featherstone to replace Val Goodfellow. Please stop by and say hello to both Ming and Josh.
Agilent 5975B GC/MS system now operational
March 2024: It has been a few years since the Facility had access to a functioning in-house GC/MS system. We have managed to put a working system together from two defunct, broken systems. This 5975B MSD+6890N GC and 7693 high-capacity autosampler increases the capacity for GC/MS sample analysis.
If you have any questions about using this system, please contact Dr. Richard Smith or Val Goodfellow.
New Thermo LTQ-XL and Vanquish Core installed
October 2022: A new Thermo LTQ-XL linear ion trap and Vanquish Core UPLC were installed and the older Themo LTQ linear ion trap was re-installed.

Please visit our MS Tutorials and SOPs page for a description of our new capabilities, as well as a series of tutorials that will introduce some of the concepts and methods used in modern mass spectrometry.
MS Pizza Lunch and Learn
When: Stay tuned – we're working on the schedule for 2025.
Mass Spectrometry is a powerful analytical tool that can help you accomplish your research goals when the qualitative or quantitative determination, identification or structural elucidation of purified materials or complex samples derived from biological or environmental matrices is required.
The question is how can the UWMSF help you with these complex analytical problems? We offer a variety of capabilities, namely, hyphenated techniques such as GCMS and LCMS, along with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS and MSn) which in some cases can be combined with Ion Mobility (IM) to further deconvolute complex samples.
In this informal Lunch and Learn seminar, we will explain what we have, what we can do, and how these state-of-the-art instruments can be employed to help you.
Bring yourselves, your questions, and an appetite, as pizza and drinks will be provided.
