Today our Waters Corporation Acquity I-Class had a makeover A new CM-Aux. With new Sample organiser it increases our capacity, can dedicate column positions #WorkLifeBalance - will save coming in on weekends and eves quite so much Scott Denham Ruth Andrew EdinUniCVS EdinburghCRF 💙

We have now increased what our Waters Corporation Xevo TQS can do. A new Acquity I-Class plus with a TUV detector. This means UPLC with UV and/or mass spec detection. Opening doors to different bioanalysis. Bonus: The I-Class plus can take vials and plates EdinUniCVS EdUni Mass Spec Core

This week we installed a Biotage TurboVap 96 Dual dry down system that dries solvent from sample, for both 96 well plates and vials. Faster dry down, heated and one or both sides for the gas! Scott Denham James Weatherill @guider50 Lee Murphy EdinburghCRF 💙 EdinUniCVS

Don’t miss the Early bird registration deadline THIS Friday 23rd September, for SMN2022 Scottish Metabolomics Network meeting P&J Live on 3-4th November.

Here’s a great overview of our Mass Spec Facility EdinUniCVS EdinburghCRF 💙 and some of what we have done and can do for targeted measurement of small molecules and drugs in pharmaceutical studies Ruth Andrew Scott Denham joanna simpson #steroids #apap #lcms #kynurenine

We have introduced important QA and QC measures into our steroid profiling method - using #chromsystem QCs, #cerilliant Merck stds and automation of extraction Biotage for our Waters Corporation Phenomenex KinetexC18 LC-MS/MS SCIEX for steroid analysis EdinUniCVS EdinburghCRF 💙

In efforts to reduce our energy consumption and for sustainable reasons with EdinUniCVS and Neil our sustainable champion Scott Denham has changed our freezer temperature from -80C to -70C UoE Sustainability #EnergyEfficiency #coldstorage

Really enjoyed doing a taster session for S5 science insights pupils today in EdUni Mass Spec Core. EdinUniCVS We started by comparing cold and hot water Dragonroastery coffee extraction with AeroPress and moved on to the lab for steroid #chromatography and #massspec

We are recruiting a Mass Spectrometry Analyst to work on clinical and biological projects, contributing to EdinburghCRF 💙 clinical research projects and more. EdinUniCVS Do apply if keen on chromatography and mass spectrometry! Deadline 24th Nov 2023 elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

My poster P360 on Neurosteroids imaging using mass spectrometry Imaging technique at #SfEBES2023 #BES2023 the Society for endocrinology conference Society for Endo EdUni Mass Spec Core

Wonderful first session with a focus on the Technology and People behind research with talks from Nik Ogryzko from UK Research and Innovation, Scott Denham from EdUni Mass Spec Core, @bartpander from Edinburgh University, and Issaku Kohl & Nils Kuhlbusch from Thermo Scientific 👏👏👏

New capabilities in our Mass Spec facility - surface sampling that we hope to trial on our Thermo Fisher Exploris 240 and SCIEX QTrap 6500+ for steroids and more #massspec #nanomate #advion

We are soon to move to a purpose built lab space in the first floor of EdinUniCVS QMRI. Exact dates to be confirmed! #massspec #steroid #massspecimaging #LCMSMS #GCMS

Great to be able to talk amd do a practical work with local school children about what we do with Mass Spectrometry. Chemistry, chromatography, mass spectrometry and biomedical science #IWD #International_Womens_Day #InternationalWomansDay

The Mass Spec Core in the QMRI is moving over next 3 weeks. The programme of instrument shut down is underway. We are still continuing with some lab work, data evaluation while we can. Please bear with us - we can still discuss new projects and are continuing with current ones.

We have keys! Here are many of the staff from EdinburghCRF 💙 EdinUniCVS UoE Estates Robertson who have delivered this lab refurb project. Years in discussion. Weekly meetings, many emails - an extremely professional team. Thank you all! Edinburgh Medical School EdUni Mass Spec Core

Visit us at poster B638 #immunology2024 AAI Immunology 2024, Chicago. To know about mast cell steroidogenesis, a primitive form of steroidogenesis originated and evolved earlier than glandular steroidogenesis (to regulate immune responses)

Today was Chike’s last day with us EdUni Mass Spec Core. He was with us through our move to level 1 earlier this year. Most recently developed a great HILiC method for Trimethylamine and other metabolites on our SCIEX 6500+. Good luck in your new role in Glasgow, Chike!
