Analytical chemistry  technique that combines  the physical separation  capabilities of liquid  chromatography (or HPLC)  with the mass analysis  capabilities of mass  spectrometry (MS). 

1. We will open the booking slots quarterly. We will notify students when the slots open each quarter.

    · January - March 2025

    · April - June 2025

    · July - September 2025

8. Student cannot booking the slot on behalf of others.

9. For non-USM students, you may contact the person in charge to discuss booking slot and arrangements to use the equipment.

Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) is a powerful analytical technique for separation, identification and quantification of both unknown and known compounds as well as to elucidate the structure and chemical properties of different molecules.
