The University of Waterloo Mass Spectrometry Facility (UWMSF) provides instrumentation and expertise to the University of Waterloo and the surrounding research community.
The Facility is equipped with various systems covering a wide range of capabilities, from API based systems (ESI, APCI, and ESCI) to high vacuum systems coupled to UPLC and GC:
- Waters Synapt G2Si HDMS QTof: High-resolution hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer with integrated Travelling Wave Ion Mobility (TWIM), combined ESI and APCI (ESCI) ion source and UPLC. AP GC/MS.
- Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive Orbitrap: High-resolution hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer with APCI, DART and ESI ion sources and UPLC.
- Thermo Scientific LTQ-XL: Low-resolution Linear Ion Trap with ESI, APCI and MSn and a Vanquish Core UPLC (infusion and LC/MS).
- Low-resolution Linear Ion Trap with ESI and MSn for infusion.
-
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (EI and CI GC/MS) quadrupole system.
