Welcome!
The mission of the Health Sciences Mass Spectrometry Core is to support the University of Pittsburgh research community by providing scientific expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation for the analysis of small molecules, lipids, and proteins by mass spectrometry.
The Health Sciences Mass Spectrometry Core (MSC) offers liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) services to support metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics research. The core assists investigators throughout the entire project lifecycle – from experimental design and sample preparation to statistical analysis and data interpretation. They accommodate a wide range of project sizes, from single experiments to large, grant-funded collaborations. Common services include stable isotope tracing, untargeted and targeted profiling of metabolites, proteins, and lipids, label-free protein quantitation, TMT multiplexing, and post-translational modification (PTM) analysis.
