Agilent 1200 HPLC

Agilent Technologies 1200 Series four solvent gradient capable HPLC coupled to Agilent 1200 series: UV capable diode array detector (DAD), fluorescence detector (FLD), and an evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). This instrument is equipped with a thermostatically controlled column compartment and auto sampler.

Agilent 6540 LC-QTOF

This mass spectrometer provides ultra-high-definition mass accuracy and mass resolution due to Agilent’s Ion Beam Compression (IBC) and Enhanced Mirror Technology (EMT). Most importantly this Q-TOF possesses the ability to quickly generate accurate mass MS and MS/MS data with UHPLC. This is the perfect system for qualitative analysis in metabolomics profiling studies.

Agilent 7890A GC

Detection and quantification of GC compatible metabolites from various biological samples with a Flame Ionization Detector. APPLICATIONS INCLUDE: High throughput seed fatty acid profile Fatty acid profile from plant or animal tissues, for example muscle and adipose.

BioTek Synergy 2 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader
