3. Guidline for sample submission
   • Place sample (~ 0.2-1mg) in a small and labeled sample vial.  Purified compounds are preferred. Do not use a plastic vial other than a polypropylene vial (Eppendorf)
   • For EI/CI-MS analysis, the melting or boiling point must be given.
   • For ESI-and Maldi-MS analysis, the solubility of the sample has to be mentioned because it is crucial for successful analyses.
   • Samples in solution will only be measured by arrangement.
   • HPLC- and GC-MS experiments are possible but not routine. Please contact msinfo@oci.uzh.ch. Thank you.
4. Sample Submission external clients
   External clients submit their order analyses by filling in the following form:
   Analysis Order pdf (PDF, 89 KB)
   Analysis Order doc (DOC, 68 KB)
   •  

Mass spectra are automatically sent as pdf-files via email immediately after analysis and processing!
