Description
Auto-translated from FrenchEPFL plans to acquire an LC-MS IM-QTOF mass spectrometer equipped with an additional ion mobility separation dimension, for the mass spectrometry and elemental analysis platform of ISIC (ISIC-MSEAP) of the School of Basic Sciences (SB). This equipment will be dedicated to LC-HRMS, MS/MS measurements with added ion mobility. Given the breadth of research areas covered at EPFL, our platform must meet the daily challenge of analyzing and providing analytical support for an extremely wide range of compounds (small organic molecules, organometallics, polymers, and biomolecules), matrices, and applications. These challenges primarily involve offering the widest possible range of fractionation strategies before HRMS detection, as well as ionization sources, in order to meet the great diversity of our analytical needs. Intended for use within a technology platform, the focus will be on operational robustness, ease of maintenance, as well as a compact and ergonomic design. The main functions of our platform that will be assigned to this future LC-IM-HRMS instrument are summarized below: · Accurate mass measurements (infusion or UPLC separation), for the determination of elemental composition · Structural studies using an orthogonal approach combining tandem mass spectrometry and ion mobility data · Quantitative analyses · Metabolomics (primarily targeted/semi-targeted) · Sample purity and identification of unknown contaminants The main applications of the requested instrument will be: · Small organic molecules and natural products · Organometallic compounds and supramolecular assemblies · Peptides, proteins (intact masses, top-down proteomics, native mass spectrometry) · Sugars, lipids, DNA and RNA
