Acquisition of Mass Spectrometers for East Carolina University

在主要研究仪器（MRI）计划的支持下，东卡罗莱纳大学化学系将购买两种仪器：一种配备电喷雾和化学电离源的液相色谱/质谱仪（LC/MS）和一种配备电子碰撞电离的气相色谱/质谱仪（GC/MS）。这一设备将促进以下方面的研究：a）主客体相互作用; B）氟化聚合物的端基; c）肽和小蛋白质的特性; d）合成有机化学。色谱-质谱检测是一种非常强大和灵敏的技术，用于分离和分析复杂的混合物。 使用所要求的光谱仪的研究结果将对生物化学和材料化学产生影响。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, the Department of Chemistry at East Carolina University will purchase two instruments: a liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer (LC/MS) equipped with electrospray and chemical ionization sources and a gas chromatograph/mas spectrometer (GC/MS) with electron impact ionization. This equipment will facilitate studies on a) host-guest interactions; b) the end-groups of fluorinated polymers; c) characterization of peptides and small proteins; and d) synthetic organic chemistry. Chromatography with mass spectrometric detection is an extremely powerful and sensitive technique used for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures. The results from studies using the requested spectrometer will have an impact on biochemistry and materials chemistry.
