[Arabidopsis] GC-MS for PAH analysis needed

[arab-gen at iubio.bio.indiana.edu]

  Dear New England Arabidopsis Researchers,

As part of a project on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) 
phytoremediation (Adan Colon-Carmona lab), I am looking for GC-MS 
equipment to analyze phenanthrene derivatives/degradation products in 
Arabidopsis extracts. We have analyzed some samples with the GC-MS at 
our UMass Boston campus but, unfortunately, the mass spec is having 
trouble, and it is uncertain as to when it will be in working condition 
again. Do you know someone in the greater Boston area who has a GC-MS 
and could either run the samples for us, or I could come and use the 
equipment (after instruction of course!)? I have 21 samples to analyse, 
with the possibility of more (but at some point our GC-MS should be fixed).
 
For further details and questions please contact me as soon as possible.
 
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide!

Best wishes,
Merianne
