Acquisition of High Performance Liquid Chromatography Equipment

寻求购买高效液相色谱（HPLC）仪器的资金。检测器（光电二极管阵列、电化学、电导率和折射率）、相关模块、计算机、软件和打印机将与现有的HPLC泵和自动进样器一起使用。这些组合的仪器将由8名研究人员共享。它们的应用是：(1)蜜蜂分泌的腺体分泌物中的糖和水溶性维生素；蜂产品中的化学残留物；(2)木瓜组织中的植物非结构性碳水化合物、脯氨酸、离子和无机乙酰原素；(3)贮藏玉米中印楝素残留量；(4)白鲟组织中17-甲基睾酮；(5)水、废水中的无机离子；（六）芜菁等农作物的农药残留；(7)松木幼苗的植物生长激素，以及产生风味的化学物质与反射到园艺作物上的光谱的关系；(8)鱼饲料中的维生素。高中生、本科生和研究生都活跃在研究人员的实验室里，参与了这项提议。肯塔基州立大学是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，招收了大量少数民族学生。

Funds for the purchase of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) instrumentation are sought. Detectors (photodiode array, electrochemical, conductivity and refractive index), associate modules, a computer, software, and a printer would be used with existing HPLC pumps and autosampler. The combined instruments would be shared by eight researchers. Their applications are (1) sugars and water soluble vitamins in glandular secretions produced by honey bees; chemical residues in honey bee products; (2) plant nonstructural carbohydrates, proline, ions and annonaceous acetogenins in pawpaw tissue; (3) azadirachtin residues in stored corn; (4) 17-methyltestosterone in paddlefish tissues; (5) inorganic ions in water and wastewater; (6) pesticide residues in turnips and other crop plants; (7) plant growth hormones in pine seedlings, and the relationship of flavor-producing chemicals to spectra of light reflected onto horticultural crops; and (8) vitamins in fish feed. High school, undergraduate, and graduate school students are active in the laboratories of the researchers involved with this proposal. Kentucky State University is a historically black institution with a large enrollment of minority students.
