Waters Synapt XS Mass Spectrometer for Louisiana State University

项目摘要 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的生物医学研究。仪器将被放置在路易斯安那州立大学 化学系的质谱学设施。质谱学设施目前 路易斯安那州立大学校园内唯一的用户设施，基于质谱学的代谢组学和其他 分析以支持NIH调查人员。收购拟议的工具将使 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 在外部设施上。这将允许NIH资助的PI进行更大比例的 直接在路易斯安那州立大学进行实验，这使得总体上可以进行更有效的研究。收购一家 面向代谢组学的质谱仪将补充目前的质量组合 光谱分析仪器，并为基础和翻译提供全面的平台 处于该大学生物医学研究使命中心的研究。收购 Waters Synapt XS质谱仪将为路易斯安那州立大学提供目前可用的资源 生物医学研究人员，并使他们能够扩大其工作范围和效率。

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.
