Acquisition of an ICP-MS

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的支持下，位于俄亥俄州的迈阿密大学化学系将购买一台电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（ICP-MS）。该设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括1）金属离子在生物分子系统的反应机制和化学行为中的作用;和B）开发用于环境修复或传感器的新纳米材料。质谱（MS）是一种用于探测紧密结构细节并获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。 该仪器将用于高等生物化学和仪器本科课程以及本科生，研究生和博士后研究。 此外，这些研究将对环境科学和生物化学产生重大影响。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Miami University in Ohio will purchase an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including 1) the role of metal ions in the reaction mechanisms and chemical behavior of biomolecular systems; and b) thedevelopment of new nanomaterials for environmental remediation or sensors. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic, and organometallic molecules. This instrument will be used in advanced biochemistry and instrumental undergraduate courses as well as undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral research. In addition, these studies will have a significant impact in environmental sciences and biochemistry.
