The instrumentation is located in E156 of the Beadle Center. The RBC proteomic and metabolomic core Facility is equipped with 4000 QTRAP, ABSCIEX (Triple Quadrupole Ion Trap), Q-Star XL, ABSCIEX (Quadrupole-TOF) and ThermoFisher, LCQ-Fleet (ion trap) tandem mass spectrometers to provide a wide range of sample analysis. These instruments are equipped with ESI (micro spray and nanospray) and APCI sources to provide a wide range of ionization capabilities.
