Located in D’Iorio Hall, the JLH Facility provides mass spectrometry services to the Chemistry Department, users from the University of Ottawa and beyond.

Sample submission

Proteomics and metabolomics experiments can be proposed either as collaborative projects or as a service. For scientific collaborations with academic, government, and non-profit laboratories, the facility will propose a discount to minimize charges covering supplies and instrument maintenance costs. Discounts can be also proposed if clients have more than 10 samples to process. 

Before sending samples to the facility, please contact us at an early stage and always inform us when you send off your samples, so that we can store them appropriately upon arrival. If you send samples on (dry) ice, avoid shipping them over the weekend. Send your samples to the address below:

Marion Hall, Room 02 , 10 Marie-Curie (MRN02) 
Ottawa, ON, K1N 1A2  

Please contact the Dr. Zoran Minic for details.

All samples submitted to the facility must be accompanied either with a sample submission form or Infinity system. If using the sample submission form, please download the forms given below.
