Research and Facilities : Mass Spectrometry Facility : High Resolution

Samples requiring high resolution (HR) analysis MUST be accompanied by a low resolution (LR) spectrum for that compound. Attach the LR spectrum to the submission form when requesting HR mass measurements. Students are encouraged to look at their LR spectrum before proceeding with a request for HR. If a LR spectrum indicates the presence of another compound whose molecular ion is greater than or equal to 15% (relative abundance) of the molecular ion of the compound of interest, the student will be required to obtain his/her research advisor's signature on the LR spectrum before the staff will proceed with HR mass measurements.

High resolution measurements are only possible with electron impact and fast atom bombardment. The facility currently has no instrument capable of acquiring high resolution data for electrospray ionization.
