This project will provide a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) for use by members of the Biology and Chemistry departments at George Mason University. There is currently no mass spectrometer at the university. The purchase of a versatile, high performance GC-MS will permit the extension of several research activities that had previously been done off- campus at relatively high cost in both dollars and hours and will encourage development of new research areas for many of the faculty members. The acquisition of the GC-MS will also provide the opportunity for appropriate training of students through established chemical and biological instrumentation instructional programs at George Mason. Five co-principal investigators with experience in GC-MS techniques will immediately use the instrument for a broad range of applications, including studies of: 1) biochemical systematics of red algae; 2) accumulation and biotransformation of organometals in aquatic environments; 3) secondary compounds in leaves of spring ephemeral plants; 4) pyrolysis and oxidation of long chain alkylaromatic compounds; and 5) analysis of polar fractions of shale crudes. Numerous other uses of the GC-MS are proposed by other investigators who have not had previous direct experience with this instrument.

该项目将提供气相色谱-质谱联用仪（GC-MS），供乔治梅森大学生物系和化学系的成员使用。这所大学目前没有质谱仪。买了一个万能的，高效的气相色谱-质谱联用将允许扩展一些以前在校外进行的研究活动，这些研究活动在金钱和时间上都相对较高，并将鼓励许多教职员工开发新的研究领域。GC-MS的收购也将通过乔治梅森大学建立的化学和生物仪器教学计划为学生提供适当的培训机会。五名具有GC-MS技术经验的联合首席研究员将立即使用该仪器进行广泛的应用，包括研究：1)红藻的生化系统学；2)水生环境中有机金属的积累和生物转化；3)春生植物叶片次生化合物；4)长链烷烃化合物的热解氧化；5)页岩原油极性组分分析。GC-MS的许多其他用途是由其他研究人员提出的，他们以前没有使用该仪器的直接经验。
