With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation program, Professor Christine A. Hughey, Jennifer L. Funkand and Jason Keller will acquire a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer. The instrument will support three research projects: 1) Small molecule quantitation for fundamental negative ion electrospray ionization studies, 2) Small molecule quantitation of alcohol and acid intermediates formed during the anaerobic decomposition of wetland organic matter, and 3) Targeted quantitation for plant proteomics.Mass spectrometry (MS) is employed to identify the chemical composition of a sample and determine its purity by measuring the mass of the molecular constituents in the sample after they are ionized and detected by the mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry is widely used as an analytical tool by chemists, biologists and biochemists. Undergraduate students will be trained in the use of this important tool preparing them for future careers in professional schools, industry and science education.

有了这个主要研究仪器计划的奖项，克莉丝汀教授A。作者：Jennifer L. Funkand和Jason Keller将获得一台三重四极质谱仪。 该工具将支持三个研究项目：1）基本负离子电喷雾电离研究的小分子定量，2）湿地有机物厌氧分解过程中形成的醇和酸中间体的小分子定量，3）植物蛋白质组学的靶向定量。质谱（MS）用于鉴定样品的化学成分，并通过测量样品中的分子成分在它们被电离并被质谱仪检测后的质量来确定其纯度。 质谱法被化学家、生物学家和生物化学家广泛用作分析工具。 本科生将接受使用这一重要工具的培训，为他们未来在专业学校，工业和科学教育中的职业生涯做好准备。
