Bioanalytical and Protein LCMS Facilities and Equipment

High capacity LC-MS bioanalysis / protein analysis services for rapid sample analysis and turnaround for all phases of discovery & drug development supporting your global studies

Bioanalytical Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) Laboratory Resources

Our bioanalytical and protein LC-MS facilities and equipment form a key component of our custom-designed bioanalytical center of excellence located in San Diego, California, USA. The site includes laboratory space for data production and analysis, quality control personnel and offices. The San Diego center conducts GLP-compliant and non-GLP studies. Additionally, immunochemistry and cell imaging services are offered in San Diego.

Our LC-MS technologies include modern mass spectrometry instrumentation, a segregated sample login area dedicated to the receipt and unpacking of biological samples, a comprehensive Rees Scientific e-Centron™ temperature monitoring system with an alarm system for all freezers, refrigerators and selected ambient zones, a diesel powered generator, and uninterrupted power supplies providing automated power backup.

Additionally, we house a restricted access fireproof archive and server rooms with constant temperature and environmental controls.
