Mass spectrometry (MS)

The platform provides you with its expertise and equipment for molecular analysis using mass spectrometry at the interface between chemistry and biology in electrospray mode.

We offer:

  • Low-resolution measurements
  • High-resolution mass measurements (HRMS) with determination of the molecular formula
  • HPLC-MS coupling
  • Precise molecular characterizations, suitable for purified molecules or relatively simple mixtures.

The platform works on a wide range of molecular classes:

  • Proteins and peptides
  • Organic chemistry molecules
  • Oligonucleotides
  • Supramolecular assemblies

Access

For any analytical service, instrument provision, or R&D project, please contact the platform staff, who will provide you with a detailed quote corresponding to your request.
