MRI: Acquisition of an LC/MS system for Research in Chemistry and Biochemistry

该奖项来自主要研究仪器（MRI）项目，底特律-梅西大学化学和生物化学系将获得一台具有质谱检测的液相色谱仪。这个多功能系统包括一个光电二极管阵列探测器和一个大气压电喷雾和化学电离源的四极杆质谱检测器。该设备将加强在许多领域的研究，包括对甲醛自由基、异黄酮及其代谢物和修饰肽的表征。液相色谱与质谱检测（LCMS）是一种非常强大的技术，用于分离和分析复杂的混合物。这台仪器将大大加强这所以本科生为主的大学的科学研究。lms也将用于高级课程。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Detroit-Mercy will acquire a liquid chromatograph with mass spectrometric detection. This versatile system includes a photodiode array detector and a quadrupole mass spectrometry detector with atmospheric pressure electrospray and chemical ionization sources. This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including characterization of verdazyl free radicals, isoflavones and their metabolites and modified peptides. Liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (LCMS) is an extremely powerful technique used for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures. This instrument will substantially strengthen scientific research at this primarily undergraduate institution. The LCMS will also be used in advanced courses.
