Waters Synapt XS Mass Spectrometer for Louisiana State University

项目概要 该提案要求为 Waters Synapt XS 质谱仪提供资金，该质谱仪将支持 路易斯安那州立大学生物医学研究。该仪器将放置在 LSU 化学系质谱设施。目前，该质谱仪正在建设中 路易斯安那州立大学校园内唯一的用户设施，其中基于质谱的代谢组学和其他 分析以支持 NIH 研究人员。收购拟议的文书将允许 路易斯安那州立大学的研究人员将进行他们目前依赖的代谢组学实验 关于外部设施。这将使 NIH 资助的 PI 能够开展其大部分工作 直接在路易斯安那州立大学进行实验，这使得研究整体更加高效。收购一个 面向代谢组学的质谱仪将补充当前的质谱产品组合 光谱测量仪器并提供基础和转化的综合平台 该研究是该大学生物医学研究任务的核心。收购 Waters Synapt XS 质谱仪将为路易斯安那州立大学提供当前可用的资源 生物医学研究人员，使他们能够扩大工作范围和效率。

Project Summary This proposal requests funding for a Waters Synapt XS mass spectrometer that will support biomedical research at Louisiana State University. The instrument will be placed in the LSU Department of Chemistry Mass Spectrometry Facility. The Mass Spectrometry Facility is currently the only user facility on the LSU campus where mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and other analysis to support NIH investigators. The acquisition of the proposed instrument will allow researchers at LSU to conduct metabolomics experiments for which they are currently dependent on outside facilities. This will allow NIH-funded PIs to conduct a larger portion of their experiments directly at LSU, which allows for overall more efficient research. Acquisition of a metabolomics-oriented mass spectrometer will complement the current portfolio of mass spectrometry instrumentation and provide a comprehensive platform for basic and translational research that is at the center of the biomedical research mission of the university. Acquisition of the Waters Synapt XS mass spectrometer will provide a resource that is currently available to LSU biomedical researchers and enable them to expand the scope and efficiency of their work.
