Located in the Mellon Institute Building, the
Center for Molecular Analysis (CMA) was established in August of 1996 by the Mellon College of Science. The CMA
features modern high-performance analytical instruments for use by the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Biological Sciences, and
other departments and centers at CMU. Other research groups outside of the
CMU campus may also use the CMA. In addition to the analytical
instrumentation, the CMA provides collaborations, analytical assistance, and
training. The CMA houses two NMRs,
four photon spectrometers,
and two mass spectrometers*.
New users, please read the Information
for users for more about CMA. If you would like to be trained for operation of
the mass spectrometers, please follow this link.
*Publications using these mass
spectrometers should acknowledge the Center
for Molecular Analysis and the instrument grants used:
NSF grant number
CHE-9808188 for the MALDI-TOF-MS
NSF grant number
DBI-9729351 for the ESI-ion trap-MS.
