With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi will acquire a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC/MS). This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) the semiquantitative analysis of pesticides and other suspected endocrine disruptors; b) analysis of climate patterns based on sedimentary lipid components; c) mechanistic studies on aquatic organisms' response to encironmental contaminants; and d) development of a novel air sampling technique that uses solid cyclodextrins to trap unstable volatile polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Gas chromatograph with mass spectrometric detection (GCMS) is an extremely powerful technique used for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures. This instrument will substantially strengthen scientific research in environmental chemistry at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, a primarily undergraduate institution.

有了这个主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的奖项，科珀斯克里斯蒂的德克萨斯A M大学化学系将获得气相色谱质谱仪（GC/MS）。该设备将加强多个领域的研究，包括a）农药和其他疑似内分泌干扰物的半定量分析; B）基于沉积脂质成分的气候模式分析; c）水生生物对环境污染物反应的机制研究; d）开发一种新型空气采样技术，使用固体环糊精捕获不稳定的挥发性多环芳烃。 气相色谱-质谱联用（GCMS）是一种非常强大的技术，用于复杂混合物的分离和分析。该仪器将大大加强德克萨斯A M大学科珀斯克里斯蒂分校（主要是本科院校）环境化学方面的科学研究。
