Bruker amaZon Ion Trap (~2012) Mass Spectrometer with DART, CTD, & ETD
Th Bruker 3D ion trap is the work-horse for most of our
CTD experiments. We duplicated the capability with our collaborators, Dr. Hélène
Rogniaux and Dr. David Ropartz, at the
BIBS MS platform
INRAE in Nantes, France. This instrument is also compatible with UHPLC to accomplish
UHPLC-CTD-MS of complex mixtures of oligosaccharides.
Thermo Scientific Velos Pro (~2012) Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer with ETD
& CTD
Our linear ion trap is primarily used for MS
2 and MS
n fragmentation studies of novel psychoactive substances (NPSs). The instrument
is also modified to enable
Charge Transfer Dissociation (CTD) reactions.
Shimadzu Nexera X2 UHPLC with DAD UV-Vis detection (~2018)
Sometimes used to separate complex mixtures
prior to MS/MS analysis on either of the mass spectrometers.
