Mass spectrometry service
The departmental mass spectrometry service provides a dedicated, full-service resource. It covers a range of different capabilities (for example, EI, FI and LIFDI) depending on your sample requirements.
The service works alongside the Centre of Excellence in Mass Spectrometry.
What problems can we solve?
- Structural identification of reaction products and product components, impurities, additives and pollutants
- Structure confirmation
- Purity checks
- Detection of trace components
