Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Facility

Description

The Shimadzu 8040 is a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer ideal for confirmation and accurate quantification of trace-level analytes in a complex matrix. This instrument includes a Shimadzu Prominence UFLCXR pump, column oven, photodiode array (PDA) detector and LabSolutions data system.

Best suited for the analysis of small molecules, the 8040 provides accurate results in both MS and MS/MS experiments, this instrument operates in electrospray ionisation (ESI) mode.
