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A&T州立大学正在为多学科研究和教育获取一种带有串联质谱仪的液相色谱。该仪器作为一个平台，将显著提高北卡罗来纳农工州立大学的化学分析能力，并促进环境修复、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、食品加工和渔业等各个领域的研究和教育。该奖项将在整个校园内吸引众多教职员工。该仪器支持的化学分析平台将成为培训STEM中代表性不足群体的学生的催化剂。每年，预计将有大量博士后、研究生、本科生和高中暑期学生使用或接受该乐器的培训。该仪器将参与在K-12学校、社区大学和公众中促进科学探究和推理文化的各种推广活动。北卡罗来纳A&T州立大学正在为多学科研究和教育获得一种带有串联质谱仪的液体色谱。该仪器将具有定量多种化合物的能力，如新出现的环境污染物、生物分子等，在各种基质中，包括环境介质、动植物组织、食品、纳米材料等。它作为一个平台，将显著提高北卡罗来纳州A&Amp的化合物分离、鉴定和量化能力；该奖项将促进环境修复和水资源、分析化学、生物科学、食品化学、蛋白质合成、土壤科学、营养、纳米等离子生物传感器和能源收获、食品加工和渔业等多个领域的研究和教育。由这台仪器实现的化学分析平台将成为培训少数族裔和其他代表性不足学生的催化剂。每年，预计将有大量博士后、研究生、本科生和高中暑期学生使用或接受该乐器的培训。该工具将用于在K-12学校、社区大学和公众中促进科学探究和推理文化的各种外联活动。它将促进与附近其他大学的研究人员进行新的和现有的研究和教育合作。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
