MassSpec Facility
The Eawag's MassSpec Facility (MSF) brings together 20+ mass-spectrometry based instruments. The MSF is run collaboratively by scientists and technicians from several Eawag departments with the goal to enable the use and development of state-of-the-art environmental and biological analyses by mass spectrometry by Eawag personnel and to catalyze and strengthen (interdisciplinary) collaboration.
The MSF is divided in three cluster:
Organic Analytics & Omics
Combine environmental contaminants (small molecules), metabolome or proteome analysis with targeted or non-targeted workflows.
Stable Isotopes
Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) or bulk isotope analysis (BIA) in environmental samples.
Trace Elements
Analysis of trace element (TE) quantity and chemical forms in various types of samples from environmental and engineered systems.
