An award is made to the University of Massachusetts Boston to acquire an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and laser ablation (LA) system to be used for elemental and isotopic analysis of liquid and solid biological, geological, and chemical media. This award supports researchers and students from a variety of disciplines (physiology, biochemistry, ecology, geology, marine science, engineering) and institutions. This instrumentation is an invaluable resource for University and external collaborators enabling intellectual property development and training the next generation of scientists, from UMass Boston as well as other institutions. Through research and integration with educational programs, the instrumentation empowers our diverse student body (42% minority) by providing them with critical skills for further study and employment. This instrumentation serves as a crucial tool for recruiting faculty and is particularly valuable to several young faculty who are developing novel research projects that take full advantage of the flexibility and sensitivity of this instrumentation.The ICP-MS and LA instrumentation provides key technological capabilities such as a dynamic mass range, the ability to measure elemental and isotopic compositions in samples from solid to liquid with high precision and accuracy, ultra-low detection limits, and the versatility to allow for direct measurement of seawater elemental composition. The dynamic, multidisciplinary research facilitated by this instrumentation ranges from ecological applications such as using the elemental composition of hard structures in marine and freshwater organisms to understand individual life histories and population dynamics under conditions of climate change and human impacts. The instrumentation enables research on the toxicity of nanoparticle metals on marine organisms and the study of the role of calcium in the development of shell disease in lobsters. In addition, the instrumentation allows for direct measurement of cellular level metal concentrations which are used in the development of novel platinum-based chemotherapies. In addition to biological research the instrumentation supports the study of the paleoocean at the time of the largest mass extinction on Earth (Permian-Triassic, 250 million years ago), the evaluation of groundwater-surface water connections in agricultural regions of the high Himalaya, and the study of how metals are speciated and transferred across the sediment-water interface in coastal oceans.

授予马萨诸塞州波士顿大学一项合同，以获得电感耦合等离子体质谱仪（ICP-MS）和激光消融（LA）系统，用于液体和固体生物、地质和化学介质的元素和同位素分析。 该奖项支持来自各种学科（生理学，生物化学，生态学，地质学，海洋科学，工程学）和机构的研究人员和学生。 该仪器对于大学和外部合作者来说是一个宝贵的资源，可以实现知识产权开发和培训来自马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校以及其他机构的下一代科学家。 通过研究和与教育计划的整合，仪器通过为他们提供进一步学习和就业的关键技能来增强我们多样化的学生群体（42%的少数民族）的能力。该仪器是招聘教师的重要工具，对于正在开发新研究项目的年轻教师来说尤其有价值，这些项目充分利用了该仪器的灵活性和灵敏度。ICP-MS和LA仪器提供了关键的技术能力，例如动态质量范围，能够以高精度和准确度、超低检测限，以及允许直接测量海水元素组成的多功能性。 该仪器促进的动态，多学科研究范围从生态应用，如使用海洋和淡水生物的硬结构的元素组成，以了解气候变化和人类影响条件下的个体生活史和种群动态。 该仪器能够研究纳米颗粒金属对海洋生物的毒性，并研究钙在龙虾壳病发展中的作用。 此外，该仪器允许直接测量细胞水平的金属浓度，其用于开发新的基于铂的化学疗法。 除了生物研究外，仪器还支持研究地球上最大规模灭绝（二叠纪-三叠纪，2.5亿年前）时的古海洋，评估喜马拉雅高山农业区地下水-地表水的联系，以及研究金属如何形成和转移到沿海海洋的沉积物-水界面。
