    Schedule
    Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
    • Operational equipment
    Mass spectrometer with QTOF type analyser. Quadrupole-Time Of Flight hybrid analyser for qualitative-quantitative analysis of high resolution and mass accuracy, with capability to perform MS/MS fragmentation also at high resolution.
      • GC-APCI chromatographic system (456-GC, Bruker).
        Gas chromatograph with APCI (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionisation) source for qualitative and quantitative analysis.  Configured with PAL-LSI system (robot for automatic introduction of samples).
      • UHPLC chromatographic system (ELUTE-PAL xt, Bruker)
        Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, with faster separations than conventional ones and higher resolution, suitable for qualitative and quantitative analysis.  Compound screening with target screener. Chromatograph with double binary pump, compartment for 6 chromatographic columns. Configured with PAL-xt system (robot for automatic introduction of samples) for both FIA and chromatography.
      • Ionisation sources interchangeable with other systems of the unit: ESI, APCI (with possibility to adapt a probe for solid samples), APPI (with possibility to adapt a probe for solid samples), GC-APCI.
        • ESI-Electrospray (medium-high polarity analytes).
        • APCI-Chemical ionisation at atmospheric pressure (low-medium polarity analytes).
        • APPI-Photo-ionisation at atmospheric pressure (non-polar aromatic analytes or analytes with chromophore groups).

    • Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Unit
