M.J. Murdock Metabolomics Laboratory

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).

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.

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.
