mass spectrometer

Platform enabling high-throughput, targeted analysis of nucleic acids without the use of fluorescent markers, using mass spectrometry to detect the end products of PCR reactions. MassARRAY enables precise, fast and cost-effective genetic analyzes thanks to the unique combination of MALDI-TOF technology, dedicated reagent kits and advanced in silico analysis. MassARRAY allows for 96-well plate format studies and the analysis of multiple PCR products in one reaction (up to 40 SNPs in one reaction).

The laboratory offers a wide range of services related to the analysis of nucleic acids: purification and quality control of nucleic acids, genotyping (single nucleotide polymorphisms, microsatellites); detection of mutations with increased sensitivity, including analysis of free circulating DNA (so-called liquid biopsies), DNA methylation analysis, quantitative analysis of gene expression, pathogen detection, identification of microorganisms.

The QTRAP spectrometer is equipped with a triple quadrupole, in which the second analyzer can work interchangeably as a quadrupole and an ion trap. It is therefore characterized by high sensitivity and enables operation in the following modes: Q1 MS, Q3 MS, Product Ion, Precursor Ion, Neutral Loss or Gain, MRM, EMS, EPI, ER, MS3, MRM3, TripleTrap Scanning. Perfect for metabolite identification, MRM based quantification. It provides excellent selectivity and measurement speed. In the case of this spectrometer, it is possible to record MS3 spectra for i.a. quantitative analyzes.
