What can Mass Spec do for you?
The Montana State Mass Spectrometry (MSMS) Core Facility (RRID:SCR_012482) provides instrumentation and methods for mass spec based research at MSU and beyond. The facility houses seven mass spectrometers that enable mass analysis of a range of analytes; e.g. volatiles and semi-volatiles, biomolecules, environmental contaminants, and elements. Common applications performed include untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics, small molecule quantitation, and elemental compositional confirmation.
