Overview

The M.J. Murdock Metabolomics Laboratory (MML) is a service center supporting bioanalytical chemistry research at the Institute of Biological Chemistry (IBC) of Washington State University (WSU).

The MML is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for chromatographic separations (GC, HPLC, UHPLC) and metabolite detection/identification (QTOF-MS, Triple Quad.-MS, Ion Mobility-MS, Ion Trap-MS, MALDI-Imaging-MS).  The MML also hosts equipment for sample preparation, including single cell isolation technology (Laser Capture Microdissection). For a listing of resources click on the "Instrumentation" tab.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

As part of our comprehensive metabolite profiling activities, we have generated reference standard materials (primarily prenyl diphosphates and terpenoids). Small amounts of these standards can be requested (including authentication materials; a shipping and handling fee will be charged). For more information, click on the "Services" tab.

For general questions regarding analytical capabilities, please contact Dr. Mark Lange, (509) 335-3794, lange-m@wsu.edu. If you are interested in using specific instruments, click on the "Instrumentation" tab and contact the principal investigator listed next to the instrument description.

The Murdock Metabolomics Laboratory received its name in honor of the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust,
which has awarded grants that are critical to the operation of the service center.
