Acquisition of a Phosphorimaging System

将为德克萨斯农工大学生物系购买一套磷成像系统，该系统将能够检测和定量阿尔法、贝塔、伽马和X射线。直接受益于磷成像系统的研究项目包括光合作用、重组、复制、昼夜节律、蛋白质运输、生长和分化、发育、蛋白酶、免疫学、信号转导和基因表达的研究。该仪器将设在高级DNA技术实验室，负责培训、技术支持、最大限度地利用和维护磷成像系统。

A phosphorimager system will be purchased for the Department of Biology at Texas A&M University that will allow detection and quantitation of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and x-rays. Research programs directly benefitting from acquisition of the phosphorimaging system include studies of photosynthesis, recombination, replication, circadian rhythms, protein transport, growth and differentiation, development, proteinases, immunology, signal transduction and gene expression. The instrument will be located in the Advanced DNA Technologies Laboratory, which will be responsible for training, technical support, maximization of use, and maintenance of the phosphorimaging system.
