Mass Spectrometry
Proteomics and Biological Mass Spectrometer Facility
The mission of the Facility is to seed proteomics and mass spectrometry technology to research labs at Montana State University and affiliated programs. Periodic hands-on training sessions are offered by the Facility. The goal of the training modules is to expand facility access to researchers with little previous training in proteomics and mass spectrometry. Individual training can also be arranged. Please contact Dr. Brian Bothner if you wish to be trained.
The Facility has the following mass spectrometers: Bruker MALDI ToF, Bruker MicroToF-HPLC, Agilent Ion-Trap with attached ChipLC modules and a Shimadzu GCMS. The Agilent microfluidics “ChipLC” system has on-board columns, switching valves, and nano sprayer. The "ChipLC" system makes virtually all of the fluidics connections, and users have their own microfluidic chip that they "plug into" a receiver system. With exchangeable LC interfaces, most problems which hinder nanospray incorporation by relatively inexperienced users are eliminated. This technology promises to be a real breakthrough for user access to this difficult technique.
The Facility also possesses a full range of gel electrophoresis equipment including a GE Typhoon Trio (TM) variable mode scanner / imager with advanced spot evaluation software.
