Shimadzu 8060 Triple Quad Rates

Triple Quadrupoles are used for Targeted Analysis. Targeted Analysis requires a method to be set up for each individual analyte.

This instrument is typically operated in a hybrid mode.  Mass Spec Facility staff will develop the instrument method for a particular analysis. Once that is set up and working satisfactorily, users will be instructed how to run their own samples. 

The initial setup fee is $250 for the first 4 hours. That should be sufficient to look at 2 or 3 straightforward compounds. There may be extra charges for more complex methods.

Running samples (instrument time) is charged at $50/hour.  The number of samples that can be run in an hour varies greatly, but typically will be somewhere between 5 and 10.
