Prodigy Cryoprobe for Environmental NMR Research

这里要求的神奇冷冻探头将支持环境核磁共振中心(多伦多大学)的所有研究项目。这包括侧重于土壤结构、土壤修复、全球变暖、水污染物运输、碳循环和可持续农业的项目。所要求的技术将全天候使用，与传统的室温核磁共振探头相比，灵敏度提高了3倍(或相应地节省了9倍的时间)。这项技术将影响所有项目，允许前所未有的新化合物/键/相互作用的检测和/或将中心的吞吐量提高近10倍。这项技术将在及早发现亚致命环境污染物暴露以及这如何影响整体生态系统健康方面产生最大影响。

The prodigy cryoprobe, requested here will support all research programs in the environmental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) center (University of Toronto). This includes programs focusing on soil structure, soil remediation, global warming, aquatic contaminant transport, carbon cycling and sustainable agriculture. The technology requested will be used 24/7 and provides a 3 fold increase in sensitivity (or a corresponding 9 fold time saving) over a conventional room temperature NMR probes. The technology will impact all programs, permitting unprecedented detection of new compounds/bonds/interactions and/or increasing the throughput of the center by nearly 10 times. The technology will have greatest impact in the early detection of sub-lethal exposure to environmental contaminants and how this impacts overall ecosystem health.
