The Facility provides a continuum of services, from routine analysis of single samples by well-established methods, to long-term collaboration on research projects. We are available for consultation, to assist in planning of experiments that will benefit from mass spectral analysis, to advise on analytical methodologies, and to aid in data interpretation. Users with a large volume of samples may be trained to use some of the instrumentation on a "self-service" basis. We encourage first-time users to visit before submitting their first sample, to ensure proper sample preparation and the highest data quality.
