General Information
The mass spectrometry facility (MSF) at the University of New Mexico is located in the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology. The facility is equipped with over $800k of analytical instrumentation and supports investigators with separations and detection of compounds ranging from organic small molecules to large proteins. The MSF capabilities, instrumentation and rates are summarized in corresponding links on this page. Investigative and collaborative projects welcomed.
The MSF is the only place in the State of New Mexico where investigators can easily access such advanced mass spectrometry capabilities.
The MSF is one of two research facilities located in the department.
Our other facility is the NMR. Please visit this as well.
