The Mass Spectrometry (MS) Facility Core has been established to maintain and provide the massspectrometric and associated analytical capabilities required to support environmental health-relatedresearch conducted by EHS Center investigators, program project grant investigators, and pilot projectinvestigators. This Core maintains state-of-the-art sample preparation and instrumental techniques thatincrease the sensitivity, mass range, specificity, and data processing capacity of the Core's analyticalcapabilities and the necessary databases for protein and organic compound identifications. In addition,this Core serves as an educational resource by providing an interdisciplinary environment in whichgraduate students in chemistry, biochemistry, and toxicology pursue their thesis research. The facilityprovides a wealth of experience in the analysis of samples as well as in the interpretation of experimentaldata. Finally, the facility supports the development and implementation of new mass spectrometerconfigurations that will advance the analysis of environmental agents as well as proteomics.
