High resolution gas chromatography mass spectrometry for metabolic research

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to fill a major gap in Australia's metabolic analytical infrastructure by making available an automated, high-resolution, two-dimensional gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer. In a collaborative effort to build a critical mass of cutting-edge metabolic analytical tools, this is expected to give Australia a world-leading edge in metabolic research. This project will enhance skills and capabilities of the Australian research community to enable the discovery of important biochemicals and molecular mechanisms and provide an unprecedented capacity to resolve complex metabolic samples, study the volatile metabolome, discover valuable new compounds and measure metabolic flows. Outputs are expected to inform the independent development of new technologies, commercial products and services, creating jobs and generating revenue while benefiting the agriculture, health and environmental sectors.
