Program Summary: The oceanographic instrumentation program supports requests to acquire instrumentation for the collection, processing and analysis of oceanographic data. This proposal from NCSU requests funding for equipment to upgrade a mass spectrometer facility. The mass spectrometer was originally purchased in 1984 withfunding from the oceanographic instrumentation program (OCE83-10579) and ONR. THe upgrades requested include a Kiel single acid bath auto-carbonated reaction system and fully automated multiport system. The Kiel system is necessary to analyze small carbonate samples, and the automated multiport will allow unattended, automatic operation, increasing the efficiency of the facility. NCSU will provide 50% cost-sharing this purchase. The instrument will improve the analysis of small sample-size carbonates which are increasingly important for oceanographic studies. It will be maintained and operated as a shared-use facility. The PI is well qualified to acquire, maintain, operate and manage the instrument. Cost sharing by the University is appropriate.

计划摘要：海洋学仪器计划支持获取用于收集、处理和分析海洋数据的仪器的请求。北卡罗来纳州立大学的这项提案要求为升级质谱仪设施的设备提供资金。该质谱仪最初于 1984 年在海洋仪器计划 (OCE83-10579) 和 ONR 的资助下购买。要求的升级包括基尔单酸浴自动碳酸化反应系统和全自动多端口系统。基尔系统对于分析小碳酸盐样品是必要的，自动化多端口将允许无人值守的自动操作，从而提高设施的效率。 NCSU 将为本次采购提供 50% 的费用分摊。 该仪器将改进小样本碳酸盐的分析，这对于海洋学研究越来越重要。它将作为共享设施进行维护和运营。 PI 具有获取、维护、操作和管理仪器的良好资格。由大学分摊费用是适当的。
