The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) will acquire laboratory and field equipment that will benefit resident and visiting scientists and the educational program, primarily in the area of ecosystems research. This project addresses:1) the acquisition of a state-of-the-art sample combustion system for the existing mass spectrometer laboratory that will allow rapid and relatively inexpensive, yet precise, determination of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios on biological samples as an analytical balance capability to support the enhanced accuracy of determination; and 2) a new small research boat to support land-margins and marine field research. These basic enhancements to the capabilities of the MBL's Ecosystems Center will provide for programs in ecosystems research, and will prepare for the research and educational challenges that are planned at the MBL in the coming decade.

海洋生物实验室（MBL）将购买实验室和现场设备，这将有利于居民和访问科学家以及教育计划，主要是在生态系统研究领域。 该项目致力于：1) 为现有质谱仪实验室购置最先进的样品燃烧系统，该系统将能够快速、相对便宜但精确地测定生物样品上的碳和氮稳定同位素比率，作为分析平衡能力，以支持提高测定精度； 2）一艘新的小型研究船，用于支持陆地边缘和海洋实地研究。 MBL 生态系统中心能力的这些基本增强将为生态系统研究项目提供支持，并为 MBL 未来十年计划的研究和教育挑战做好准备。
