1. Brand and model: SCIEX CESI 8000 Plus System & Waters QTOF G2-XS
2. CESI 8000 Plus system functions and uses:
- The instrument is connected in series with QTOF, combining the high separation efficiency of capillary electrophoresis and the advantages of high resolution and high sensitivity of high-resolution mass spectrometer to become a high-performance analysis platform.
- It can also be used as an independent capillary electrophoresis instrument, with ultraviolet and visible light detectors for detection.
- It provides an analysis platform for trace precious samples, and the required injection volume can be as low as 6uL.
- The tandem mass spectrometer is equipped with the unique OptiMS cartridge of the original factory, and uses a single continuous capillary as the separation channel, so there is no dead body.
3. The provision of analysis services includes (mainly analysis by tandem mass spectrometer, CE alone is negotiable)
- Quantitative experiments—quantitative analysis of known small organic molecules (metabolites) in a sample compared to a standard.
- Qualitative experiments - confirm the mass and fragmentation mode of different small molecules (metabolites) in the sample to be tested.
[Note] This instrument adopts the certification system or is operated by a special person.
one, reservation regulations
**If you need a tandem mass spectrometer (QTOF), please make an appointment at QTOF**
- Before use, please go to the "Instrument Reservation System" of the Instrument Resource Center to make an appointment. The person making the appointment must be the actual user.
- Be sure to register the start and end times in the paper record book after use. The start time is the start time registered in the instrument reservation system, and the end time is based on the actual end of use time (including system recovery and cleaning time).
- Appointment operation time, each person can make an appointment up to 6 times a week, up to 48 hours a week. If it is necessary to increase the analysis time, the use time can be extended without affecting other appointments.
- Registration for use or cancellation of appointments must be completed in the instrument reservation system before 17:00 on the day before use; new appointments or temporary cancellations of appointments on the day are not accepted.
- The normal operation period for self-operators is from 8:00 am to 17:00 pm from Monday to Thursday. Friday is the period for center staff to maintain, adjust and develop new analysis items. Self-operated appointments are not open. Please contact the instrument management for special needs member.
- For overnight and holiday use rights, the user must use it 6 times on weekdays, and it will be opened with the consent of the administrator, and please contact the administrator first for holiday reservations.
- For overnight use, the initial setting, instrument adjustment, and running analysis must be completed before 17:00 on the same day.
two, Instructions for sample consumables
- Self-operated or ask someone to do it for you. Applicants must prepare their own analytical solvents, columns, capillaries, sample bottles and other related consumables.
- Be sure to perform purification steps such as high-speed centrifugation, protein removal, and filtration before analyzing samples to avoid damage to the mass spectrometer.
three,Experimental data
- Be sure to do it before analyzing the sample on the machine to avoid damage to the mass spectrometer.
- The experimental data is temporarily stored in the computer of the mass spectrometer, and the experimental data is saved for 3 months and then deleted. During this period, if the computer fails, the center is not responsible for data storage.
- Users are required to prepare formatted hard drives to access analysis data. Do not arbitrarily insert unformatted hard disks. If the instrument computer is damaged, you must bear the responsibility for maintenance.
If the mass spectrometer is damaged due to poor sample preparation or improper human operation, it will be handled in accordance with the "Administrative Rules for the Open Use of Instruments of the Yangming Campus of the Instrument Resource Center of National Yangming Jiaotong University".
If you have other questions, please call us.
【Certification Process】

- A maximum of 2 personnel in the laboratory can apply for certification. If there is a need for excess personnel, please submit an additional application to the administrator.
- If the user has not used it for more than 3 months after obtaining the certification, he must reapply to the administrator for additional certification exams.
- If the user is not authenticated or uses another person's account to make an appointment, the user's permission to use the laboratory will be closed for one month.
