MRI: Acquisition of a Nanoflow Hybrid Triple Quadrupole/Linear Trap Mass Spectrometer System for Three Diverse Institutions

该奖项是对一种质谱仪的收购，该质谱仪将三重四极杆功能与线性离子陷阱的灵敏度和快速扫描相结合。这种组合使该仪器成为小分子结构表征、代谢物分析和蛋白质组应用的理想选择，包括检测翻译后修饰的蛋白质。该仪器的获得将促进在环境微生物学、大气化学、化学通信、金属化学、脂质信号、拟南芥植物蛋白和外源生物等领域需要这些应用的广泛项目。该仪器的获得将为该硕士研究生的研究和教育提供便利。该仪器还将使健康科学中心和本科生大都会州立大学的研究人员和学生受益。

This award is for the acquisition of a mass spectrometer that combines triple quadrupole functionality with the sensitivity and rapid scanning of a linear ion trap. This combination makes the instrument ideal for small molecule structural characterization, metabolite profiling and proteomic applications, including the detection of post-translationally modified proteins. Acquisition of this instrument will facilitate a wide range of projects in environmental microbiology, atmospheric chemistry, chemical communication, metallochemistry, lipid signaling, Arabidopsis plant proteins, and xenobiotics that require these applications. The acquisition of this instrument will facilitate the research and education of students at this Master's level university. The instrument will also benefit researchers and students at the Health Sciences Center and at the undergrad college, Metropolitan State College.
