Electrospray Mass Spectrometer
We are equipped with a ThermoFinnegan DecaXP ion
trap mass spectrometer that is used for peptide mass measurements
and fragmentation (de novo sequencing). Samples can be applied by
direct infusion or after in-line reversed phase chromatographic
separation. Automated search algorithms (TurboSEQUEST) are available to
perform database searches to aid in protein identification. This
instrument is for peptide/protein analyses only. If you are
interested in small ion mass spec analysis, we recommend that you
contact the Laboratory for Biological Mass Spectrometry in the
Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M Unversity.
