Main applications:
MS analysis/QC of small molecules (< 1000 Da)
Structure elucidation of natural products

Personal remark:
Our working horse for the low resolution analysis of synthetic organic compounds and metal-organic/inorganic complexes as well as the structure elucidation of natural products.
