Acquisition of a Multimode Spectrophotometer by Elon University to Enhance Undergraduate Research and Teaching in Chemistry and Biochemistry.

伊隆大学的Victoria Moore教授和他的同事Karl Sienerth和Kathryn Matera将获得一个多模四单色板读取分光光度计。该提案旨在加强研究培训和教育，特别是在以下领域：(a)肽聚集体；(b)蛋白-蛋白结合；(c)细胞凋亡过程中线粒体的生化变化；(d)环境和爆炸性化合物的定量测量。该合同将提供一种多模分光光度计，用于对各种样品进行吸光度、荧光和发光测量。这些是用于分析化学和生物化学中小体积溶液的标准光谱技术。可以跟踪反应并确定材料的数量。此次收购将为教师和本科生提供当前生物化学和化学研究的基本工具。学生将接受培训，使用他们毕业后将遇到的最新分析方法和技术。

With this award from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) program, Professor Victoria Moore from Elon University and colleagues Karl Sienerth and Kathryn Matera will acquire a multimode quad-monochromator plate reader spectrophotometer. The proposal is aimed at enhancing research training and education, especially in areas such as (a) peptide aggregates; (b) protein-protein binding; (c) biochemical changes to mitochondria during apoptosis; and (d) quantitative measurements of environmental and explosive compounds.This award will provide a multimode spectrophotometer to make absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence measurements on various samples. These are standard spectroscopy techniques used to assay small volumes of solutions in chemistry and biochemistry. Reactions can be followed and quantities of materials determined. This acquisition will provide a basic instrument for current biochemistry and chemistry research by faculty and undergraduate students. Students will be trained to use the most up-to-date assays and technologies which they will encounter after graduation.
