9413199 Burris, J. The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) will purchase laboratory and multi-user equipment that will benefit resident and visiting scientists and the educational program. The acquired equipment will support ongoing efforts in environmental, cell, and organismal biology, increasing capabilities in sample analysis and preparation for a variety of studies. The acquisition addresses the capability to precisely and accurately measure the nitrogen and carbon contents and to determine the carbon quality of plant tissue, litter, soil and sediment samples that are central to the research of the MBL's Ecosystems Center and to visiting collaborators from other institutions. In order to achieve this capability MBL will obtain a near infrared reflectance (NIR) analysis system for rapid, non-destructive measurements of samples. The NIR system would consist of an NIR analyzer, a dedicated personal computer to run NIR software, and a large capacity grinding mill for preparing samples. The second acquisition addresses the ability to prepare biological samples and preparations in order to apply modern molecular biology methods to their study. Small quantity, high-quality, centrifuges are essential to this preparation, and MBL will acquire a Micro- Ultracentrifuge that will provide this capability for visiting researchers and appropriate educational users.

9413199伯里斯，J.海洋生物实验室（MBL）将购买实验室和多用户设备，这将有利于居民和访问科学家和教育计划。 所收购的设备将支持环境、细胞和生物学方面的持续努力，提高样品分析和各种研究准备的能力。 此次收购解决了精确和准确测量氮和碳含量的能力，并确定植物组织，垃圾，土壤和沉积物样本的碳质量，这是MBL生态系统中心研究的核心，也是其他机构来访合作者的核心。 为了实现这一能力，MBL将获得一个近红外反射（NIR）分析系统，用于快速，无损测量样品。 近红外系统将包括一台近红外分析仪、一台运行近红外软件的专用个人计算机和一台用于制备样品的大容量研磨机。 第二项收购涉及制备生物样品和制剂的能力，以便将现代分子生物学方法应用于其研究。 小数量，高质量的离心机是必不可少的，这一准备，MBL将获得一个微型超级离心机，将提供这种能力的访问研究人员和适当的教育用户。
