Ion Cyclotron Resonance Facility

Scientist using the 9.4 Tesla FT-ICR MS

Pairing mass spectrometry with high magnetic fields for a range of research applications.

This facility is charged with developing and exploiting the unique capabilities of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry, and leads the world in instrument and technique development as well as novel applications of FT-ICR mass spectrometry.

The facility features directors for instrumentation, biological applications, environmental, petrochemical applications, and user services as well as a machinist, technician and numerous rotating postdocs who are available to collaborate and/or assist with projects.

How to Request Magnet Time

Our magnets are open to all scientists - for free - via a competitive process and we accept proposals through out the year.

plan experiment icon

Prepare documentation

A proposal and prior results report are required.

request magnet time icon

Create a user profile

New user registration, returning users simply need to log in.

do experiment icon

Submit a request online

Upload files and provide details about the proposed experiment.

report results icon

Report your results

After your work is completed, you are asked to report to the laboratory, in a timely manner.

Note: We've created several templates to help users successfully apply for magnet time - ICR General Proposal Template, Biological Applications template, and Report Prior Results Template.
