Ultracentrifuge and rotors

在约克大学，我们有大量的研究人员在生物系，运动机能学和健康科学学院，肌肉健康研究中心（MHRC）需要使用超离心机。这是一种基本设备，用于分离不同的细胞成分，如膜、细胞质、细胞器和DNA。由于超离心机及其相关转子的成本，它通常由许多用户共享。作为MHRC的主任，我代表这3个研究单位的37名教员提交这份申请，他们从事生物化学研究，可能会利用这个设备。这些教师中有7人是经常使用它的主要用户。该设备将增加我们基本细胞分析的能力，并消除用户目前排队使用目前存在于这三个研究密集型单位中的一个老化和过时的超离心机的僵局。

At York University we have a large number of researchers in the Department of Biology, the School of Kinesiology and Health Science, and the Muscle Health Research Centre (MHRC) that require the use of an Ultracentrifuge. This is a fundamental piece of equipment that is used for the isolation of different cellular components, like membranes, cytoplasm, organelles and DNA. Because of the cost of the ultracentrifuge and its associated rotors, it is often shared among many users. As the Director of the MHRC, I am submitting this application on behalf of 37 faculty members in these 3 research units who do biochemical research that potentially could make use of this equipment. Seven (7) of these faculty members are major users who employ it regularly. This equipment will increase our capacity for this fundamental cell analysis and dissipate the logjam of users who currently line-up to use the one, aging and out-dated ultracentrifuge that currently exists among these 3 research-intensive units.
