Description

Sensitive Desorption Electrospray Ionisation Mass spectrometry facility. To understand the impact of chemicals and biomolecules on humans and the environment, we need to understand how they are transported and distributed within the samples. This project aims to establish a state-of-the-art Desorption Electrospray (DESI) enabled triple quadrupole (QqQ) mass spectrometer to reveal where these molecules exist in the samples at very high sensitivity. The facility will break barriers currently limiting discovery of chemical movement for a variety of chemical, biological and environmental samples. This new capability will support our world leading research on exposure sciences, new materials and delivery of chemicals and biomolecules based on our expanded scientific knowledge of molecular scale chemical transport.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4104 - Environmental Management. Lead: Prof Jochen Mueller
