Offering project-specific HPLC-MS and GC-MS analysis of sediment, soil, aqueous, and tissue samples

The Trace Organic Chemical Mass Spectrometry Laboratory was established at the Marines Sciences Research Center at Stony Brook University under the direction of Prof. Bruce. J. Brownawell in 2001.

The laboratory now offers mass spectrometry and related services to outside investigators on a fee for service basis providing research level and project-specific sample extractions, purifications and GC, HPLC-MS and GC-MS and HPLC analysis of sediment, soil, aqueous, and tissue samples.

Services available include analysis of neutral alkylphenol ethoxylate metabolites, such as nonylphenol; steroid estrogen hormones; modern use pesticides such as organophosphates, pyrethroids, and methoprene; high volume pharmaceuticals; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons; polychlorinated biphenyls; and fluorescent whitening agents.
