The mission of the MS Center in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is to provide centralized access to high performance mass spectrometry resources for researchers at the University of South Carolina, as well as to public and private institutions within the state of South Carolina.
Instruments housed in the center were funded in part by NSF and NIH. All instruments are operated and maintained by a staff of expert mass spectrometrists. The staff is available to users for consultation on experimental design as well as for guidance and training on instrument operation.
Samples are accepted on an equal fee-for-service basis from all researchers at the University of South Carolina, and from outside investigators upon consultation with the center staff. Please contact the director for a correct fee schedule.
