This is the home of the Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility space. 

The Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility provides services, self-service equipment, and collaborative research for the detection, characterization, and quantification of proteins and other biomolecules. We provide proteomics services, detection of PTMs, and quantitation. We also have metabolomics services and self-service MALDI instrumentation for chemicals and polymers as well as biomolecules. The facility labs are located in MBB 1.420 (College of Natural Sciences). We are part of the Center for Biomedical Research Support (CBRS) supported by the Office of the Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors.
