About us

Mass spectrometry scientists, working on your side.

Access MS Scientific was founded by a team of mass spectrometry experts from the University of Toronto to make advanced MS accessible to every research group, whether or not it has a mass spectrometer down the hall.

Who we are

A partner, not a queue.

Based in Toronto, Ontario, we provide consultation for all MS-based research needs: experimental design, access to current-generation mass spectrometry, and a complete analysis pipeline.

Our team has hands-on experience across proteomics, post-translational modifications, metabolomics, RNA modifications, drug discovery, biomarker analysis and toxicology. That breadth lets us see a project from every angle: the chemistry, the biology and the statistics.

Proteomics

Post-translational modifications

Metabolomics

RNA modifications

Biomarker analysis

Drug discovery

Toxicology

Small-molecule analysis

How we work

Principles behind every project.

The things we would want from a mass spectrometry partner ourselves.

01 — Independent

The right tool for the question

We are not tied to a single vendor or instrument. Each project runs on the most suitable platform, in-house or through trusted partner facilities.

02 — Rigorous

Quality you can see

Controls, QC samples and documented pipelines are standard, and you get the evidence, not just our word for it.

03 — Collaborative

Scientist to scientist

You work directly with experienced researchers who explain the choices, the caveats and the results in plain terms.
