Mass Spectrometry
Identifying the role of biomarkers in disease progression and characterising new biomarkers that might help to identify at-risk individuals before they develop diseases
Our ability to measure and identify substances in biological samples is expanding rapidly.
Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool that measures very small amounts of multiple components in complex samples. Our Mass Spectrometry Core Facility facilitates use of this powerful tool to support studies across the Division of Biomedical Sciences. Two mass spectrometers are available to provide capacity for measurement of a wide variety of analytes from proteins and lipids to drugs and micronutrients.
Part of the Institute of Health Research and Innovation, the Division is based on Inverness Campus at the Life Sciences Innovation Centre and An Lòchran.
