Work on nanomaterials lends itself for parallel experimentation, where multiple samples are studied at the same time. The nanomaterials of interest in our laboratory include metal nanoparticles with potential applications in nanomedicine and catalysis, as well as semiconductor nanoparticles, usually referred as "quantum dots", characterized by their strong fluorescence that has led to applications as biological markers and as sensors.  In order to handle many samples at the same time one needs the ability to prepare them in parallel using robotics, the tools to carry out parallel chemistry (in our case multiple ultraviolet exposures), and finally equipment to read the results of the experiment. Sample preparation robotics and exposure tools are already available in our labs. The present application deals with the last aspect (reading the results) by requesting support for the purchase of a microplate reader capable of recording absorbance and fluorescence spectra.

对纳米材料的研究适合于并行实验，即同时研究多个样品。我们实验室感兴趣的纳米材料包括在纳米医学和催化方面具有潜在应用的金属纳米颗粒，以及半导体纳米颗粒，通常被称为“量子点”，其特征是其强烈的荧光导致作为生物标志物和传感器的应用。为了同时处理许多样品，人们需要使用机器人并行准备它们的能力，进行并行化学的工具(在我们的情况下是多次紫外线曝光)，以及最后读取实验结果的设备。样品制备机器人和曝光工具已经在我们的实验室中提供。本申请通过请求支持购买能够记录吸光度和荧光光谱的微板读取器来处理最后一个方面(读取结果)。
