Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry @ MPIP

In the mass spectrometry (MS) core facility, we provide service measurements for routine chemical analysis, as well as develop new methodologies to answer complex research questions in materials and biological sciences. We are equipped with several high end mass spectrometers with different ionization techniques to address the scientific questions in the best-suited way.
