CORE--Mass Spectrometry

建立了质谱学(MS)设施核心，以维持和提供质量 支持与环境健康相关的光谱分析和相关分析能力 EHS中心调查员、计划项目拨款调查员和试点项目调查员进行的研究 调查人员。这个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、特异度和数据处理能力 用于蛋白质和有机化合物鉴定的能力和必要的数据库。此外, 该核心作为一种教育资源，提供了一个跨学科的环境， 化学、生物化学和毒理学的研究生继续他们的论文研究。该设施 在样品分析和实验解释方面提供了丰富的经验 数据。最后，该设施支持开发和实施新的质谱计 将推进环境因素分析和蛋白质组学的配置。

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.
