Polarimeter

这项提议涉及购买旋光仪来测量手性分子的旋光。之前使用了40年的仪器已经坏了，不再有替换部件可用。为了出版的目的，对旋光度的测量是必不可少的。有机化学、生物化学和材料科学的学生和博士后研究员依赖于马尼托巴大学的旋光仪来测量手性分子的旋光。马尼托巴大学目前没有其他的偏振仪。旋光度的测量是出版的关键。如果没有它，研究论文将不会被接受，研究成果的发表也将被推迟。将研究样本运送到其他大学是不切实际的，最终会变得非常昂贵。

This proposal is concerned with the purchase of a polarimeter to measure optical rotations of chiral molecules. The previously used 40 year old instrument has died and replacement parts are no longer available. Measurements of optical rotations are essential for publication purposes. Students and post-doctoral fellows in organic chemistry, biochemistry and materials sciences depend on the availability of a polarimeter at the University of Manitoba to measure optical rotations of chiral molecules. There is currently no other polarimeter at the University of Manitoba. Measurement of optical rotation is critical for publication. Without it research papers will not get accepted and the publication of research results will be delayed. Shipments of research samples to other Universities is not practical and will eventually become very expensive.
