MRI: Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer for Marine Chemistry and Lipid Biogeochemistry Research at Hawaii Pacific University

通过主要研究仪器项目（MRI）的奖励，来自夏威夷太平洋大学的F. David Horgen及其同事Brian J. Bozlee和Jiasong Fang将获得一台带有质谱仪检测器（GC-MS）的气相色谱仪。该仪器将由至少四名教职员工和13名博士后研究助理使用，并将为本科生和硕士学生提供培训。GC-MS被建议用于鉴定生物标志物、纳米材料、生物活性海洋衍生化合物、生物合成肽、海水中二甲基硫化物的定量和水产养殖系统中氮的掺入研究。气相色谱质谱检测（GC/MS）是一种非常强大的技术，用于分离和分析复杂的混合物。使用该光谱仪的研究结果将对有机/有机金属化学、化学生物学、天然产物化学和材料化学产生影响。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation program (MRI), F. David Horgen and colleagues Brian J. Bozlee and Jiasong Fang from the Hawaii Pacific University will acquire a gas chromatograph with a mass spectrometer detector (GC-MS). The instrumentation is to be used by at least four faculty members, 13 postdoctoral research associates, and there will be training for undergraduate and M.S. students. The GC-MS is proposed to be used in identifying biomarkers, nanomaterials, bioactive marine-derived compounds, biosynthesized peptides, and in quantitation of dimethyl sulfide in sea water, and nitrogen incorporation studies in aquaculture systems.Gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC/MS) is an extremely powerful technique used for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures. The results from studies using the requested spectrometer will have an impact on organic/organometallic chemistry, chemical biology, natural product chemistry, and materials chemistry.
