Rutgers University, Center for Advanced Food Technology

The Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography Support Facility

Supporting Research and Development

Experienced technical staff and state-of-the-art equipment make the mass spectrometry support facility at the Center for Advanced Food Technology (CAFT) a valuable resource for tackling some of the most complex and intriguing problems facing the food industry today. Located at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, the $2.5 million facility is designed primarily for university scientists, and is available to support researchers from the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The facility focuses on special research-oriented problems, and does not compete with work that can be accomplished at commercial locations.

The facility is uniquely equipped to tackle those challenging analytical tasks which demand the highest caliber equipment and expertise. Using the most precise instruments avialable in the field today, including high-field magnetic spectrometers capable of accurate mass measurements, the center's scientists and technicians explore the realm of biomolecules, including polypeptides and oligosaccharides.

The facility's equipment and technical expertise can be used, for instance, to help a company research the nature and quantity of foreigh compounds in samples that may be causing off-flavors, discoloration, or other irregularities.

For each application, the technical staff selects the appropriate instrument and technique to break down a given sample, and then analyzes the resulting data. Users receive detailed written reports describing both the procedure and the outcome.

The Established Facility Since 1985, CAFT's Mass Spectrometry Support Facility has tackled beyond-routine analyses for the federal Food and Drug Administration, the US Dept. of Agriculture, the NJ Dept. of Consumer Affairs, and more than 150 companies from NJ and across the nation.

Equipment housed at CAFT's Mass Spectrometry Support Facility include a VGZAB-T Tandem High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer, a four-sector tandem mass spectrometer equipped with a 40 KV cesium ion gun for liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS), has array detection for ultra-high sensitivity determinations. The instrument will determine the molecular weights and structures of many organic molecules including small proteins and other biomolecules. It will sequence molecules such as peptides and their adducts, and determine the structures of other intermediate molecular weight molecules using high-energy collisions to fragment the molecules of interest. This instrumentation is also equipped with direct probe capabilities including the capability to do exact mass calculations at high resolution.

Finnigan-MAT 8230 High-Resolution Magnetic Sector Mass Spectrometer, an ultra-high sensitivity system equipped for GC-MS, DCI and EI and CI high-resolution analyses. The instrument separates chemical compounds on the basis of boiling point and polarity and identifies them by mass up to 1,000 Daltons. Special short-path thermal desorption devices developed by Dr. Tom Hartman add significant scope to the analyses of impurities and components in foods, pharmaceuticals, and other matrices.

Liquid Chromatograph Spectrometer (VG Platform II) separates compounds on the basis of polarity and solubility rather than boiling point, making it ideal for nonvolatile and heat-sensitive compounds. The LC-MS also identifies compounds by its mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) up to m/z 3000. Two ionization techniques, electrospray and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, allow the determination of a wide range of molecules, including peptides and proteins weighing up to 50 kilodaltons. A particle beam interface is available for obtaining EI-MS of non-volatiles.

Expert Management Dr. Thomas G. Hartman, an instrumentation specialist with expertise in mass spectrometry and othe analytical techniques is responsible for the mangement of the facility. The support facility is administered by Dr. Robert Rosen, a nationally recognized expert in mass spectrometry with special skills in separation science and identification techniques.

Also available is elemental analysis using state of the art inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Several instruments are available including a Leeman Labs ICP2.5 and a Varian Instruments Liberty 220 ICP.

The facility provides services to researchers on SIUC campus as well as to private sector.

The facility is located on the third floor, in room 301 of the Neckers Building on SIUC's Carbondale campus.

UCLA Center for Molecular and Medical Sciences Mass Spectrometry

A new facility located in the recently completed Molecular Sciences Building on the UCLA campus. The Center is jointly supported by the Departments of Chemistry & Biochemistry (College of Letters and Sciences) and Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences and The Neuropsychiatric Institute (School of Medicine). The Center is a research and service facility available to all members of the UCLA campus and elsewhere. The available equipment has the capability of analyzing a diverse array of organic and inorganic molecules including compounds of biological origon such as peptides and proteins and carbohydrates. One high resolution magnetic sector instrument is reserved for solid probe analyses via El and Cl for accurate mass determination; a GC will be interfaced to this instrument in the near future. Two high resolution magnetic sector instruments are reserved for analyses by Fast Atom Bombardment; one of these instruments is fitted with a zenon gun and the other is fitted with a caesium ion gun. One triple quadrupole instrument is reserved for electrospray ionization; this instrument has a dedicated HPLC. The Center also contains two quadrupole GC/MS instruments, one for El only and the other fitted with El and Cl capability and with positive and negative ion detection. A laser desorption-time of flight instrument will be acquired in the near future to complete the suite of available ionization techniques.

Washington University Mass Spectrometry Resource

The mass spectrometry resource at Washington University-St. Louis is a merger of the former NSF Midwest Center for Mass Spectrometry (founded in 1978 at the University of Nebraska) and the Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Resource (founded in 1976 at Washington University). The new resource, which was formed in 1994 and is supported by the NIH National Center for Research Resources is committed not only to service but also to basic and collaborative research in mass spectrometry and to education of graduate and postdoctoral students in the field.

The Resource has two arms: one is the Dept. of Chemistry and one in the Medical School. Each facility has a comprehensive list of equipment and services. Please link to this web site for more detailed information.
