Core Facility Type

Accepts organic, soil, water, and air samples for analysis of stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen and hydrogen at natural abundance.

The Energy & Biosciences Institute, located in Koshland Hall, provides access to instrumentation including mass spectrometry, high throughput liquid handling device, various chromatorgraphy applications, and fermentation.

The College of Natural Resources' Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Spectroscopy Facility has a Perkin Elmer 5300 DV optical emission ICP with auto sampler.  The ICP can measure up to at least 21 different elements simultaneously. Users should estimate between 6 and 12 samples per hour plus a half hour warm up of the instrument.  Applications include plant elemental analysis, soil extracts, silicon chip analysis, nanoparticles, rock fusions to name just a few. 

Provides routine access for liquid- and solid-state NMR experiments as well as diffusion and micro-imaging applications. PMRC Core is primarily used for determining critical aspects of molecular structure, for studying reaction mechanisms qualitatively and quantitatively, and materials characterization. Instruments are available at field strengths 300 MHz to 700 MHz with probes to study a broad-band of nuclei (1H-19F and 31P-103Rh).  Further information can be found at: pmrc.berkeley.edu

Promotes the understanding of the structures and dynamics of natural products, potential therapeutics, proteins, and nucleic acids at the atomic level. Instruments include a 900 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryoprobe, along with several other NMR systems.

Provides routine acquisition of mass spectra and accurate mass measurements of biological, organic, and inorganic compounds, as well as mass measurements of intact proteins, lipids, oligosaccharides, and non-covalent protein-protein and protein-ligand complexes and supramolecular coordination clusters. The facility also provides advanced proteomics analysis and operates an open access laboratory. 

The facility provides acquisition of mass spectra and accurate mass measurements of biological, organic and inorganic compounds, as well as mass measurements of intact proteins, lipids, oligosaccharides, and non-covalent protein-protein and protein-ligand complexes and supramolecular coordination clusters. The facility also provides advanced proteomics analysis. This involves protein identification using mass spectral data as well as identification of posttranslational modifications. In addition, the facility provides ion mobility spectrometry. The facility also operates an open access MALDI-TOF instrument available to trained users.

Offers gene cloning, protein expression and protein purification services. Also provides reagents such as competent cells, Cas9 proteins and TEV protease.

Provides comprehensive proteomics services using mass spectrometry, determining the protein contents of samples as simple as gel bands or as complicated as whole cell extracts. The facility provides identification of post-translational modifications and relative quantitation as well as consultation regarding sample preparation and experimental design.

The facility provides proteomics services principally through mass spectrometry.  Currently we have two Thermo LTQ XL linear ion trap mass spectrometers and a Thermo Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer.
