CORE--Mass Spectrometry

质谱（MS）设施核心已建立，以维持和提供质量 支持与环境健康有关的 由EHS中心调查员、计划项目资助调查员和试点项目进行的研究 investigators.该核心保持了最先进的样品制备和仪器技术， 提高核心分析的灵敏度、质量范围、特异性和数据处理能力， 蛋白质和有机化合物鉴定的能力和必要的数据库。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 该核心通过提供跨学科环境作为教育资源， 化学、生物化学和毒理学研究生从事论文研究。该设施 提供了丰富的经验，在分析样品，以及在解释实验 数据最后，该设施支持新质谱仪的开发和实施 这些配置将推进环境因子和蛋白质组学的分析。

The Mass Spectrometry (MS) Facility Core has been established to maintain and provide the mass spectrometric and associated analytical capabilities required to support environmental health-related research conducted by EHS Center investigators, program project grant investigators, and pilot project investigators. This Core maintains state-of-the-art sample preparation and instrumental techniques that increase the sensitivity, mass range, specificity, and data processing capacity of the Core's analytical capabilities and the necessary databases for protein and organic compound identifications. In addition, this Core serves as an educational resource by providing an interdisciplinary environment in which graduate students in chemistry, biochemistry, and toxicology pursue their thesis research. The facility provides a wealth of experience in the analysis of samples as well as in the interpretation of experimental data. Finally, the facility supports the development and implementation of new mass spectrometer configurations that will advance the analysis of environmental agents as well as proteomics.
