This is the home of the Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility space. 

The Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility provides services, self-service equipment, and collaborative research for the detection, characterization, and quantification of proteins and other biomolecules. We provide untargeted metabolomics detection and self-service MALDI instrumentation for chemicals and polymers as well as biomolecules. The facility labs are located in MBB 1.420 (College of Natural Sciences). We are part of the Center for Biomedical Research Support (CBRS) supported by the Office of the Vice President for Research, Scholarship and Creative Endeavors.

We are accepting online sample submissions using the same site as the DNA and Microscopy Facilities. https://fbs.icmb.utexas.edu/Anon/Logon.aspx?logoffsuccess=true  If you do not have an account yet, please email us at pmaf@austin.utexas.edu and we will send you an invitation to create one. Finally, we prefer that you consult with us prior to sample submission so we can advise you on sample preparation and the best analysis for your needs.

Please acknowledge use of core services and equipment using our RRID number RRID:SCR_021728 and send us citations. These citations will affect funding for the facility. Here is an example: "Protein identification was provided by the UT Austin Center for Biomedical Research Support Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility (RRID:SCR_021728)."


Announcements:

Andrew Basalla joined the facility with a background including work in liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry of antibodies, and  experience with diverse analytical techniques and data processing. He joins the lab as Research Associate II and Lab Manager. Stop by to greet our newest member.

Due to the staff turnover in recent months and instrument changes, the sample turnaround time estimate is now 3 weeks for protein identification.
