Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure
Liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry offers sensitive, fast and robust quantification of a variety of molecule types. The system also allows the determination of isotopologues and isotopomer ratios in metabolic flux analysis. This system is ideal for compound quantification using multiple reaction monitoring covering concentrations over six orders of magnitude.
