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.

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