Acquisition of an Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer with Open Access and Cyber-Enabled Data Processing

根据化学研究仪器和设施：部门多用户仪器获取（CRIF-MU）计划的这份合同，佛罗里达大学化学系将获得一台大气压力电离飞行时间质谱仪，该质谱仪具有开放访问和网络数据处理能力。该仪器将支持的研究项目包括：a)铜金属化中阻挡材料的替代化学研究；B)含氟有机化合物和反应性中间体的反应性和合成；C)化学键中心；D)金属-有机和有机金属偶联低聚物的光物理；e)用于在单细胞及其隔室中直接分析RNA的纳米级阵列。质谱（MS）是一种用于探测内部结构细节和获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。该仪器将以开放的网络方式提供，以协助化学系55名教员、100名博士后研究员和250名研究生的研究。此外，它还将被整个州立大学系统的另外55个小组使用。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities: Departmental Multiuser Instrument Acquisition (CRIF-MU) Program, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Florida will acquire an atmospheric pressure ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer with open access and cyber-enabled data processing. Research programs that will be supported by this instrument include studies on a) alternative chemistries for barrier materials in copper metallization; b) reactivity and synthesis of fluoroorganic compounds and reactive intermediates; c) the chemical bonding center; d) photophysics of metal-organic and organometallic pi-conjugated oligomers; and e) nanoscale arrays for direct RNA profiling in single cells and their compartments. 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 made available in an open access cyber-enabled fashion to assist the research of 55 faculty, 100 postdoctoral fellows and 250 graduate students in the Department of Chemistry. In addition, it will be available for use by 55 additional groups throughout the state university system.
