Mass Spectrometry Service
 

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Hull can offer a commercial mass spectrometry service.  The facility provides access to most techniques currently available in mass spectrometry for studies on a wide variety of chemical, pharmaceutical and bio-medical samples.  Equipment available:

GCMS

Perkin-Elmer Turbomass quadrupole GCMS system with autosystem XL GC and autosampler. Provides access to EI and CI ionisation coupled with capillary GC.

Varian Saturn 2000 ion trap GCMS system with 3800 GC and CP8400 autosampler providing access to EI and CI ionisation coupled with capillary GC and MS/MS.

LCMS

Thermo-Finnigan LCQ Classic LCMS system with thermo separations LC including binary gradient pumping system and AS3000 autosampler. Provides access to electrospray and APCI ionisation and MS/MS for structural elucidation.

Agilent 5973N quadrupole GCMS system with Agilent 8890 GC capillary and autosampler.

MALDI-TOF MS

Bruker reflexIV time-of-flight mass spectrometer with nitrogen laser and automated sample loading. High resolution reflectron optics and accurate mass determination with mass range to 300kDa.

Mass Spectrometry - Staff

The facility is under the direction of Dr Kevin Welham who has over thirty years experience in mass spectrometry of chemical, pharmaceutical and bio-medical samples. Dr Welham started his career at Wellcome Research laboratories in Beckenham, Kent in the mass spectrometry section of the Physical Sciences Department before moving to the London School of Pharmacy, working in the mass spectrometry group. He then took up a lectureship position in London in 1990, with responsibility for the mass spectrometry facility there, before moving to the Chemistry Department in Hull in 2002.

Support staff include Dr Rob Lewis who has many years experience in organic synthesis and analytical spectroscopy.
