Sample submission
All samples submitted to the facility must be accompanied
by a Mass Spectrum Request and Analysis Form
(PDF format)
(Microsoft Word format)
. This form may be printed out, filled in, and brought in
with your sample; or forms are available in the facility.
Please provide as much information as possible. If you have
not used the facility before, please review the form details described
below.
MS Request and Analysis Form
Following is a description of the information required
to analyze your sample.
| Name |
your name |
| Dept/Co |
your department or company |
| Phone |
your daytime phone number |
| Account/PO |
billing account or purchase order reference
number |
| PI |
principle investigator |
| Date |
date of sample submission |
| MF/structure |
an expected molecular formula and structure
is usually known; if not, please provide as much information as
possible |
| Sample ID |
this will be the identification on your
results |
| Mass |
please compute the monoisotopic molecular
mass from your expected molecular formula |
| Matrix |
is your sample solid, liquid, or gas?
if in solution, what is the approximate concentration? |
| solvent |
your sample may require dilution, please
note a recommended solvent |
| storage |
please check the necessary requirements
and place your sample in the necessary storage area |
| confidence |
please indicate your confidence in the
sample's structure |
| purity |
please indicate how pure your sample
is |
| toxicity |
please indicate level of toxicity |
| buffers/cations |
high concentration of metal salts will
interfere with some ionization methods and with data analysis of
your sample.
please speak to a facility employee if this
is a concern |
| resolution |
| unit mass: |
provides nominal molecular weight,
discriminates between peaks 1 mass unit apart (0-3,000 u) |
| exact mass: |
confirms molecular formula (elemental
analysis) by using mass resolution of 10,000-30,000 |
|
