Description

University College Cork is seeking to procure: 1. A combined High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer (HRMS) for metabolomic analysis equipped with Desorption Electrospray Ionisation (DESI) imaging capability, based on a Waters Xevo QTof/MRT platform with Desorption Electrospray Ionisation (DESI) XS with imaging capabilities 2. A complementary triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Waters Xevo TQ-S cronos/micro) for highly sensitive targeted quantitative metabolomics. This infrastructure is required to support a Mass Spectrometry Core Facility (MS-IMPACT) funded through the Higher Education Research Equipment Grant (HEREG). The combined platform will provide complementary capabilities spanning discovery metabolomics, structural characterisation, spatial molecular imaging, and targeted quantitative analysis. The HRMS with DESI will be used for biological, environmental, pharmaceutical, forensic, archaeological, geological and bioprocess research applications and analysis from simple and complex mixtures with the ability to simultaneously to identify known metabolites with high sensitivity, discover previously unknown molecular features, determine accurate molecular masses and elemental…
