Sample Submission
The following page provides an overview for the submission of
routine samples to the mass spectrometry service. You
MUST
use a separate
submission
form for each sample submitted. A
pdf of the submission form is available. For more detailed
guidelines please refer to the specific page below.
There
are a number of techniques offered as routine by the service (EI,
CI, ESI, Nanospray, APCI and MALDI). If you are unsure of what these various
techniques can offer then please read the relevant pages of the
web-site or come and talk to the Mass Spectrometry staff to
discuss your needs. There are also a number of otherĀ techniques
available on a non-routine basis (for example, LC-MS, GC-MS, MS/MS, MSn
etc.).
You must log the samples into our
database to be assigned a unique log number for each sample. The
database computer is in W404 next to the submission trays. This automatically assigns a
service log number for each sample. Please write the number in
the box on the submission form. If the boxes on the login page
on the database have entries already in them, then click 'add
new sample'. The log number will only be generated after you
have started entering your details. Please fill in all boxes as
this enables us to keep a record of who is using the service.
The following
page outlines our submission guidelines for the routine MS service.
