The use of radioactively labeled iodine (I125) is an essential component of the research programs of Drs. Sharom, Bernier, Van Der Kraak and Heyland. The availability of a gamma counter for this research in the New Science Complex (NSC) at the University of Guelph has been recently compromised and we are therefore requesting funds to purchase a Wizard2 5-detector gamma counter from Perkin Elmer. Research in the applicant's laboratories focuses on the function and evolution of endocrine and neuroendcrine systems (Bernier, Van Der Kraak and Heyland) as well as the study of a diversity of membrane processes (Heyland and Sharom). The lack of a functional gamma counter with high throughput capabilities in the New Science Complex (NSC) at the University of Guelph, a massive integrated facility which allows collaborative interactions between more than 80 researchers, is significantly holding back these four research programs and delays in having this equipment available will significantly reduce productivity and inhibit progress.

放射性标记碘（I125）的使用是博士研究计划的重要组成部分。沙洛姆，伯尼尔，范德克拉克和海兰。圭尔夫大学新科学综合大楼（NSC）用于这项研究的伽马计数器的可用性最近受到影响，因此我们正在向Perkin Elmer申请资金购买Wizard2 5探测器伽马计数器。申请人实验室的研究重点是内分泌和神经内分泌系统的功能和进化（Bernier， Van Der Kraak和Heyland）以及膜过程多样性的研究（Heyland和Sharom）。圭尔夫大学（University of Guelph）的新科学综合体（NSC）是一个大型综合设施，可以让80多名研究人员进行协作互动，但由于缺乏具有高通量能力的功能性伽马计数器，这严重阻碍了这四个研究项目的发展，延迟使用该设备将大大降低生产率并阻碍进展。
