Infrastructure

Analytical equipment

EnvMS central offices and labs are state-of-the-art facilities adopting the latest in research and learning technologies and encourage greater innovation and collaboration, whilst also supporting individual scholarship. Its facilities also enhance the relationships with industry and various national/international research Centers by providing space for joint research activity.

    Omics

    EnvMS offers services on untargeted omics (Orbitrap LC-MS/MS, etc), data mining, biomarker discovery for different users from different standpoints.

Source: Thermo Scientific: Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Focus hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap MS. The sensitivity, selectivity, flexibility, and ease-of-use provided by hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometers set the standard for screening, quantitation, identification, and confirmation of targeted and untargeted compounds. The Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Focus hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap MS makes this power accessible to environmental, food safety, clinical research, forensic toxicology, and pharmaceutical labs challenged by growing sample volumes and constrained by strict budgets. The Q Exactive Focus system simplifies method development, saving time and decreasing costs while reliably delivering unsurpassed results. 

High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Q Exactive™ Focus hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap MS

Proven – Durable – Affordable

Source: Thermo Scientific: Based on the proven Q Exactive platform, the Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Focus provides durable and reliable performance for routine laboratories doing automated screening, profiling and quantification analysis. Full scan confirmation mode and parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) provide reproducible quantitation results and targeted screening capabilities. The Q Exactive Focus system is ideal for routine labs performing food safety residue analysis, environmental analysis, forensic toxicology, sports doping, clinical research, metabolomics, and routine pharmaceutical analyses
