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.

在约克大学，生物系、运动学与健康科学学院和肌肉健康研究中心(MHRC)有大量的研究人员需要使用超速离心机。这是一种基本的设备，用于分离不同的细胞成分，如膜、细胞质、细胞器和DNA。由于超速离心机及其相关转子的成本，它通常由许多用户分担。作为MHRC的主任，我代表这3个研究单位的37名教职员工提交这份申请，他们从事的是可能使用这种设备的生化研究。这些教职员工中有七(7)人是定期使用它的主要用户。这台设备将增加我们进行基本细胞分析的能力，并消除目前排队使用这3个研究密集型设备中目前存在的一个、老化和过时的超离心机的用户的拥堵。
