The RTI proposal is for the purchase of two Agilent 1200 Series HPLC Systems to support the nutritional sciences, pharmaceutical sciences and environmental sciences research programs in the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition at the University of Saskatchewan. Five NSERC researchers will primarily use this equipment in their various independent and collaborative research endeavours. All of the researchers are committed to provide training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and research technicians.  The new HPLC systems are crucial for the research programs of the five primary users since the existing HPLC equipment available for their use is outdated or nonfunctional and no longer meets the needs of the research that is being undertaken.  Therefore, replacement of some of the current HPLC systems is required.  Furthermore, the still-operational HPLC systems available in the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition are fully utilized and researchers often have to delay their research or have their samples analyzed by other laboratories, thus increasing costs and diminishing the training exposure for those working within their own research groups. Of the HPLC systems still in use, they require software upgrades and are often in need of repairs or they are so outdated that parts are no longer available and new software programs are not compatible with the older systems. This lack of basic analytical equipment is significantly impeding the researchers' productivity and ability to collaborate locally, nationally and internationally.The new HPLC systems would greatly alleviate our present crisis situation and would allow all five applicants and others to increase their research capacity.

RTI的提案是购买两台Agilent 1200系列HPLC系统，以支持萨斯喀彻温大学药学与营养学院的营养科学、制药科学和环境科学研究项目。五名NSERC研究人员将主要在他们的各种独立和合作研究工作中使用该设备。所有的研究人员都致力于为本科生和研究生、博士后研究员和研究技术人员提供培训机会。新的HPLC系统对于五个主要用户的研究计划至关重要，因为现有的HPLC设备已经过时或不起作用，不再满足正在进行的研究的需要。因此，需要更换当前的一些HPLC系统。此外，药学与营养学院仍在运行的HPLC系统已得到充分利用，研究人员经常不得不推迟他们的研究或将他们的样本交给其他实验室分析，因此增加了成本，减少了那些在自己的研究小组内工作的人接受培训的机会。在仍在使用的HPLC系统中，它们需要软件升级并且经常需要维修，或者它们太过时了，以至于零件不再可用，并且新软件程序与旧系统不兼容。这种基本分析设备的缺乏严重阻碍了研究人员的生产力和在当地、国家和国际上合作的能力。新的HPLC系统将大大缓解我们目前的危机状况，并使所有五个申请人和其他人能够提高他们的研究能力。
