P/ACE MDQ Capillary Electrophoresis System Our versatile CE instrument equipped with UV absorbance detector and dual-channel laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector modules with sample tray & capillary thermostatic control. Currently, we utilize an Ar-ion laser (488 nm) and two solid-state UV lasers (355 nm/266 nm) coupled to a single channel for ultra-sensitive analyses of natively fluorescent and fluorescently-labeled metabolites. Agilent Capillary Electrophoresis-Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry System Our powerful CE system equipped with PDA, ESI with XCT ion trap mass spectrometer for comprehenisve metabolomic analyses. CE-MS in conjunction with on-line sample preconcentration permits nanomolar detection limits with structural elucidation of low abundance unknown metabolites. P/ACE 5000 Series Capillary Electrophoresis Systems Our robust CE instruments equipped with UV absorbance and/or photodiode array detector with capillary thermostatic control. Instrument is used in conjunction with on-line preconcentration techniques for sub-micromolar analyses of different classes of low abundance metabolites.  Other Instrumentation Our laboratory has recently been furnished with basic equipment for analytical and synthetic based research including UV-vis and fluorescence spectrophotometers, rotary evaporator, water purification system, pH meters, electronic balances and centrifuges. The set-up of home-built CE instruments for teaching/research is planned for the near future.
