Basile Lab

Facilities and Instrumentation

Biodetection and Mass Spectrometry Laboratory

Located in the Physical Sciences Bldg Room 444.

(Mass Spectrometry Instrumentation Lab is located in the Physical Sciences Bldg room 317)

MALDI-ToF/ToF-MS (5800^TM, Sciex) is now available in the Macromolecular Core Facility (MAC)

Our Biodetection and Mass Spectrometry Laboratory has adjacent offices for graduate students.  We are equipped with instrumentation and computing facilities to conduct a wide range of analytical MS measurements.  Our laboratory also has an in-house microbiology lab (Biosafety Level 2) where we maintain and produce a wide range of bacterial and viral samples for MS biodetection research.
