该奖项由主要研究仪器和化学研究仪器计划共同支持。罗格斯大学-纽瓦克分校正在购买一台配备电喷雾电离（ESI）、大气压化学电离（APCI）和真实的时间直接分析（DART）的高分辨率质谱仪（HRMS），以支持Frieder Jaekle教授及其同事Elena Galoppini、Haesun Kim、Michal Szostak和Colin Kinz-Thompson的研究。该仪器促进了有机化学、催化、半导体、无机化学、生物化学和生物科学领域的研究。一般来说，质谱（MS）是用于识别和表征复杂样品中嵌入的少量化学物质的关键分析方法之一。在一个典型的实验中，成分被加热并流入质谱仪，在那里它们被电离。离子的质量被非常精确地测量。质谱仪仪器的能力得到了补充ESI和环境压力APCI和DART源的增强，并将满足广泛的研究需求。此次收购加强了大学和地区的研究基础设施。该工具增强了许多部门各级学生的教育，研究和教学努力，并提供了在附近机构使用的无障碍环境。该仪器为学生提供使用重要仪器的经验，这些仪器将与他们一起进入职业生涯。使用该工具的研究小组也积极参与多个成功的计划，以帮助从代表性不足的群体中招募人员。授予这一质谱仪的目的是加强各级的研究和教育。新仪器将作为重要的表征工具，用于从合成化学、催化、材料科学到生物物理和生物科学等领域的研究。研究将在酰胺键活化，交叉偶联和催化，有机催化和绿色合成，用于能量转换的分子电催化剂，发色团-半导体界面，材料科学和催化中的有机硼烷，细菌化学传感，髓鞘形成神经胶质细胞中的胆碱转运，脑健康和疾病中的脂质代谢，溶菌酶介导的细菌细胞壁加工，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation Programs. Rutgers University – Newark is acquiring a high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) equipped with electrospray Ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), and Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) to support the research of Professor Frieder Jaekle and colleagues Elena Galoppini, Haesun Kim, Michal Szostak, and Colin Kinz-Thompson. This instrument facilitates research in the areas of organic chemistry, catalysis, semiconductors, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, and biological sciences. In general, mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the key analytical methods used to identify and characterize small quantities of chemical species embedded in complex samples. In a typical experiment, the components are heated and flow into a mass spectrometer where they are ionized. The ions' masses are measured very accurately. The capabilities of the mass spectrometer instrument are augmented by complementary ESI and ambient pressure APCI and DART sources and will serve a wide host of research needs. The acquisition strengthens the research infrastructure at the University and regional area. This instrument enhances the educational, research, and teaching efforts of students at all levels in many departments as well as provides accessibility for use at nearby institutions. The instrument gives students experience using vital instrumentation that they carry with them into their careers. The research groups using the instrument are also actively participate in multiple successful programs to aid recruiting from underrepresented groups. The award of this mass spectrometer is aimed at enhancing research and education at all levels. The new instrument will serve as an important characterization tool for research that spans areas ranging from synthetic chemistry, catalysis, materials science to biophysical and biological sciences. research will be enabled in amide bond activation, cross-coupling and catalysis, organocatalysis and green synthesis, molecular electrocatalysts for energy conversion, chromophore-semiconductor interfaces, organoboranes in materials science and catalysis, bacterial chemosensing, choline transport in myelin-forming glial cells, lipid metabolism in brain health and disease, lysozyme-mediated bacterial cell-wall-processing, and biological sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
