Thermo Scientific Q Exactive HF-X

We have four methods of loading samples into this instrument:

• infusion pump (no fractionation)
• Capillary electrophoresis
• nano UHPLC-flow rates of nnn for 75 µm diamater columns
• UHPLCs with flow rates up to 1 ml/min for larger columns

The mass spectrometer has an Orbitrap mass analyzer with a mass range of 50 to 8000, and resolution up to 240,000.

Bruker MicroFlex MALDI

This instrument measures masses of intact molecules. Sample preparation is usually relatively simple so this instrument is the first choice to obtain the mass of peptides, proteins and some other molecules.

High performance liquid chromatography.

• Dionex Ultimate for 0.3 to 4.6 mm diameter columns.

Variable wavelength UV detector.Used for separation of peptides, proteins and some other molecules, usually with reverse phase columns.

JASCO J-1500 Circular dichroism spectropolarimeter

For studies on tertiary structure of proteins.
Operated by researcher. Fee for use.
Brief background on operation here.

Molecular interactions

fortéBIO Octet RED96 uses BioLayer Interferometry with disposable probes to measure association and dissociation rates of pairs of molecules and hence dissociation constants.
This instrument can perform 8 simultaneous readings. It can also perform quantitation measurements including some equivalent to ELISA,
