High resolution mass spectrometry

GINYS-ICIQ-003
The High Resolution Mass Spectrometry Unit (HRMS) offers access to state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instruments capable of characterizing the wide range of compounds that are usually of interest to the Institute. The apparatus includes most of the ionization options, introduction of chromatographic samples and techniques that are necessary to solve problems of mass spectrometry in chemistry. In addition to the characterization of pure samples, the unit also supports research projects that depend more on mass spectrometry experiments, such as mechanical studies, intermediate identification, characterization of impurities or biochemical applications. In addition, the Unit offers a comprehensive training to guarantee an optimal use of the installations and an adequate interpretation of the data.
