We have three mass spectrometers at the UM Department of Chemistry, a VG-Trio2000 dedicated for FAB analysis, a Bruker BiflexIV MALDI-TOF, and an Agilent Technologies 5975C GC/MS with autosampler.

Researchers from inside the UM community and commercial interests outside the University are welcome to submit samples for mass spectroscopy in our facility. A standard fee schedule is set up competitively with that from other universities; please follow the link below for the schedule.

    Our VG-Trio2000 has run reliably for 20 years; it is one of the few remaining VG instruments still providing FAB analysis.
    Our Bruker MALDI-TOF is used for higher molecular weight sample analysis.
