MRI: Acquisition of a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometer for interdisciplinary research and education on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University

北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学正在购买一台液相色谱串联质谱仪，用于多学科研究和教育。该仪器作为一个平台，将大大提高北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学的化学分析能力，并促进研究和教育的各个领域，如环境修复，分析化学，纳米材料，土壤科学，水资源工程，生物化学，3D打印，营养，动物科学，蛋白质合成，食品加工和渔业。该奖项将吸引校园内的众多教职员工。该仪器支持的化学分析平台将成为培训STEM代表性不足的学生的催化剂。每年，大量的博士后，研究生，本科生和高中暑期学生预计将使用该仪器或接受培训。该仪器将参与各种推广活动，促进K-12学校、社区学院和公众的科学探究和推理文化。北卡罗来纳州AT州立大学正在购买一台液相色谱串联质谱仪，用于多学科研究和教育。该仪器将有能力量化各种各样的化合物，如新出现的环境污染物，生物分子等，在各种各样的基质，包括环境介质，植物和动物组织，食品，纳米材料等。它作为一个平台，将显着提高化合物分离，鉴定和量化的能力在北卡罗来纳州&AT州立大学和促进研究和教育的各个领域，如环境修复和水资源，分析化学，生物科学，食品化学，蛋白质合成，土壤科学，营养，纳米等离子体生物传感器和能源收获，食品加工和渔业等，这个奖项将吸引校园内众多的教师。该仪器所支持的化学分析平台将成为培训少数民族和其他代表性不足的学生的催化剂。每年，大量的博士后，研究生，本科生和高中暑期学生预计将使用该仪器或接受培训。该工具将用于各种推广活动，促进K-12学校，社区学院和公众的科学探究和推理文化。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。

North Carolina A&T State University is acquiring a Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometer for multidisciplinary research and education. This instrument serves as a platform that will significantly elevate the capability for chemical analysis at North Carolina A&T State University and boost various fields of research and education, such as environmental remediation, analytical chemistry, nanomaterials, soil science, water resource engineering, biochemistry, 3D printing, nutrition, animal science, protein synthesis, food processing and fisheries. This award will engage numerous faculty members across the campus. The chemical analysis platform enabled by this instrument will be a catalyst for training students from groups that are underrepresented in STEM. Annually, a large number of postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students and high school summer students are expected to use or be trained with the instrument. The instrument will participate in various outreach activities that promote a culture of scientific inquiry and reasoning in K-12 schools, community colleges, and the public.North Carolina A&T State University is acquiring a Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometer for multidisciplinary research and education. This instrument will have the capability to quantify a wide variety of chemical compounds, such as new emerging environmental contaminants, biomolecules, etc. in a wide variety of matrices, including environmental media, plant and animal tissues, food, nanomaterials, etc. It serves as a platform that will significantly elevate the capability for chemical compounds separation, identification and quantification at North Carolina A&T State University and boost various fields of research and education, such as environmental remediation and water resources, analytical chemistry, biological science, food chemistry, protein synthesis, soil science, nutrition, nanoplasmonic biosensor and energy harvest, food processing and fisheries, etc. This award will engage numerous faculty members across the campus. The chemical analysis platform enabled by this instrument will be a catalyst for training minority and other underrepresented students. Annually, a large number of postdocs, graduate students, undergraduate students and high school summer students are expected to use or be trained with the instrument. The instrument will be used in various outreach activities that promote a culture of scientific inquiry and reasoning in K-12 schools, community colleges, and the public. It will foster both new and currently existing research and educational collaborations with investigators from other nearby Universities.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.
