Mass spectrometry core

The Mass Spectrometry Core Facility is supported by Shiv Nadar University, School of Natural sciences as an advanced shared instrument facility for the benefit of SNU and the local research community.
Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art LC-MS service to students, fellows and faculty for identification and structural analysis of small synthetic and biological molecules and for qualitative and quantitative assays of drugs and metabolites in physiologic fluids. The facility is operated as an open-access core laboratory in which users are encouraged to run their own samples with the advice and assistance of Core personnel. Low cost service fees are charged for sample analysis from non-SNU users. Consultation, collaboration and data interpretation are available as professional courtesy at no charge.
