Purchase of High Resolution and Routine Service Mass Spectrometers

气相色谱仪和质谱仪（GC/MS）系统分离挥发性化合物的混合物，并确定每个分离组分的分子质量。当需要定量稀溶液中的可溶性化合物时，GC/MS是必不可少的。GC/MS在化学合成、动力学和结构分析等领域非常有用。这份由化学仪器项目授予哈佛大学化学系的合同将帮助获得两套GC/MS系统。此次收购将提高该系教育学生的能力，并将加强以下领域的化学研究：合成有机，生物有机和天然产物化学生物化学研究：糖、受体和表面生物化学研究：糖、受体和表面

The Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) system separates mixtures of volatile compounds and identifies the molecular mass of each separated component. The GC/MS is essential when there is a need to quantify soluble compounds found in dilute solutions. The GC/MS is useful in areas such as chemical synthesis, kinetics and structural analysis. This award from the Chemistry Instrumentation Program to the Department of Chemistry at Harvard University will help acquire two GC/MS systems. The acquisition will enhance the ability of the department to educate students and will enhance chemical research in the following areas: 1. Synthetic Organic, Bioorganic and Natural Product Chemistry 2. Studies in Biochemistry: Sugars, Receptors and Surfaces 5. Studies in Biochemistry: Sugars, Receptors and Surfaces
