Acquisition of an HPLC System

高压液相色谱可对许多生物重要物质进行定量分析，如衍生氨基酸、寡肽、酚类、极性萜类化合物和香豆素化感物质，这些物质太重，无法用气相色谱分离。拟议的高效液相系统将支持明尼苏达大学新生态大楼至少五个教员实验室小组的研究，包括植物/草食动物相互作用和植物次生产品的调查。

High Pressure Liquid Chromatography allows the quantitative analysis of many biologically important materials like derivatized amino acids, oligopeptides, phenolics, polar terpenoids, and coumarin allelochemicals that are too heavy for gas chromatographic separation. The proposed HPLC system will support the research of at least five faculty lab groups in the new University of Minnesota Ecology Building, including investigations of plant/herbivore interactions and plant secondary products.
