Booking and prices
Department of Chemistry
Analytical services are provided free of charge to students at the BSc and MSc level, and to PhD students financed directly by the department using funding from the Ministry of Education and Research ("KD-stipendiat").
For PhD students, post docs, researchers and others that work for a project with external funding—for instance grants from the Norwegian Research Council (NFR) or EU—analytical services will be billed according to "leiestedsmodellen" (please contact us regarding up do date prices).
Submit your request for analysis using BookitLab (instructions) and deliver your samples outside room V252 in the Chemistry Building.
Department of Pharmacy
Analytical services are provided free of charge to students and employees at the Department of Pharmacy through a separate agreement. Submit your request for analysis using BookitLab (instructions) and deliver your samples outside room V252 in the Chemistry Building.

External clients
We are happy to provide our services for external clients. Please contact the analytical services team directly for processing and up to date pricing.
Services
The laboratory provides analytical services for the Department of Chemistry, Department of Pharmacy, UiO at large, and external clients. Routine services include:
- Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry of pure samples or mixtures on the maXis II instrument.
- Option for high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with suggested molecular formula and simulated isotopic pattern.
- Electron ionization (EI) mass spectrometry, with preceding gas chromatography (GC), of pure samples or mixtures on the SCION instrument
Additional services are available; please see the Services page.
Instruments
- The maXis II is an advanced quadrupole–TOF instrument and is the workhorse for the analytical services of the laboratory. With a mass resolution in 50 000 range, it is capable of delivering not only mass spectra but also accurate estimates of a sample's molecular formula. The standard ionisation method is ESI; however, the instrument is also capable of APCI, APPI and has options for HPLC and GC. Additional information is available on the Services page.
- The Bruker SCION is a GC-MS instrument with EI and CI ionisation. Additional information is available on the Services page.
- Micromass/Water QTOF-2. A quadrupole–TOF instrument mostly used for research. A modified gas inlet allows us to study the reactions between ions and a variety of different gases and volatile/semi-volatile liquids. The particular configuration of the instrument's ESI source lends itself well to the production of molecular cluster ions.
Research
The laboratory is active in basic and applied research with emphasis on chemical reactivity and reaction mechanisms; we employ various physical and theoretical methods such as mass spectrometry, sonochemistry, reaction rate theory and computational quantum chemistry.
