The Department of Chemistry of the University Basel offers a large variety of MS services to all its research groups. This includes high-resolution MS (see below for sample submission), tandem MS as well as coupled systems (e.g. LC-MS). We also offer so-called “open access” devices, which every group member is free to use (see below for more information). In addition, we are happy to support you in any MS related issues.

We ask external groups or interested parties to contact us directly via e-mail.
