High Resolution Bioanalytical Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometer Combined With Liquid Chromatograph

Funding: 2006: $770,000

Project Member(s): Harry, E.

Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Research Council (ARC Linkage Infrastructure)

Start year: 2006

Summary: This project extends a network of advanced technology for bioanalysis that enables discoveries in biotechnology, molecular medicine and biochemistry. The proposed equipment includes the most powerful mass spectrometer (MS) currently available for bioanalysis to complement an existing network of instruments at four universities in Sydney. These include 3 of 4 nodes of the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility (APAF). The new technology is a missing link in bioanalytical capability where other instruments are not sufficiently sensitive. The instrument will be managed by MS specialists at the Bioanalytical Mass Spectrometry Facility at UNSW (www.bmsf.unsw.edu.au) where access by and training of users is well established.
