General Information
Six instruments are able to accept submission:
- Agilent 6120 Quadruple LC/MS with ApCI/ESI source and fraction collector
- Agilent 6210 Time-of-Flight LC/MS
- Agilent 6890 GC/MS
- JEOL SX102 magnetic sector with EI/CI/FAB methods
- Micromass LCT
- Applied Biosystems Voyager RP MALDI
Each sample MUST be submitted with a submission sheet with all fields filled out. Unless otherwise requested, all samples will be carried out by ESI before other ionization techniques will be performed. Users wishing to submit for MALDI analysis should consult the laboratory personnel before submitting samples. If you have a sensitive compound (air/moisture etc), please consult the laboratory staff to schedule an appointment
Submission Sheets
To assist our personnel optimizing experimental conditions, proposed compound structure should be provided. An internal and an external form are available. For those have a Harvard 33 digit billing code, please use the internal form. All others should use the external form. Forms can be found here: Forms
Submission Process- There is one "In" tray, located on top of the mailboxes against the wall as you enter the facility.
- Sample vials may be taped to the sheets (if stable in room temp.) or placed in the tray on the top shelf in the fridge next to the mailboxes.
- All samples MUST be labeled.
- Samples should be submitted and fully-dissolved (in suitable solvents) in chromatography auto-injector vials (available in the stockroom) at an appropriate concentration (~0.1 mg/mL).
- Partial solubility is not acceptable.
- Solid sample placed in vials may be submitted ONLY if the sample is not stable in liquid solvents and please identify a solvent that will dissolve your sample completely on the submission sheet.
