Instrumentation

The laboratory of the Muddiman Group at NC State University is part of a University Wide Research Center called the Molecular Education, Technology and Research Innovation Center (METRIC) that will provide both state-of-the-art instrumentation and scientific staff to support diverse projects. The Muddiman group also has non-METRIC space in Cox Hall Room 603 (~600 square feet) for sample preparation. Moreover, all graduate students and post-docs in the Muddiman group have their own desk, computer for data analysis, shared color printer / copier, and access to conference rooms.

Instrumentation: 

  • Thermo Fisher Scientific Exploris 240 with Next-Gen IR-MALDESI Source (Breadboard for R&D)
  • Thermo Fisher Scientific Exploris 240 with Next-Gen IR-MALDESI Source (System for Application)

Software

MSiReader v2.8 and RastirZ for MSI Experiments. MSiReader and RastirZ development are dynamic throughout the project funding period; RastirZ being an innovative extension of RastirX to enable the imaging of non-flat samples with an arbitrary ROI and ablation-based 3D imaging.
