This award supports the acquisition of a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF/TOF) Mass Spectrometer. This mass spectrometer will provide new instrumental capabilities, such as the possibility to perform true tandem mass spectrometry experiments and fully automated database searching, which are not available on the existing older generation mass spectrometers. The proposed research projects require the capabilities of the requested instrumentation and include proteomics, photocatalytic bactericides, and phenotypic variation in fish.The new mass spectrometer will be used also by students and researchers from Xavier University (a member the Historically Black Colleges and Universities - HBCUs). This award also provides support for the major rebuilding effort underway in New Orleans following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Acquisition of the new mass spectrometer will allow increased classroom use of mass spectrometers.

该奖项支持获得基质辅助激光解吸/电离串联飞行时间（MALDI-TOF/TOF）质谱仪。 该质谱仪将提供新的仪器功能，例如进行真正的串联质谱实验和全自动数据库搜索的可能性，这是现有老一代质谱仪所不具备的。拟议的研究项目需要所需仪器的能力，包括蛋白质组学、光催化杀菌剂和鱼类表型变异。新的质谱仪也将被泽维尔大学（历史黑人学院和大学-HBCU的成员）的学生和研究人员使用。 该奖项还为卡特里娜飓风和丽塔飓风后新奥尔良正在进行的重大重建工作提供支持。 购买新的质谱仪将使更多的课堂使用质谱仪。
