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.
