A gas chromatography system hyphenated to a mass selective detector (GC-MSD) for the Laboratory for the Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Environmental Toxicants (L.A.N.S.E.T.).

渥太华大学的自然和合成环境毒物分析实验室（L.A.N.S.E.T.）是加拿大任何大学实验室中常规分析最广泛的自然和合成环境毒物的研究和培训机构，需要一套气相色谱（GC）系统连接到四极杆质量选择检测器（MSD）。我们分析的一个基本要求是对分析物进行色谱分离，然后进行质量选择检测分析。这里要求的系统是替换旧的和过时的设备，并将代表一个基本的研究工具，没有它我们的项目无法完成。此外，L.A.N.S.E.T.还为国内和国际上的大学和行业提供分析支持。气相色谱- msd平台将允许进行广泛的研究，检查环境污染物的存在和分布及其相关风险。我们的研究生和博士后研究人员将接受最先进仪器的培训，为他们提供适合市场的技能，使他们毕业后在就业市场上具有竞争力。该设备将有助于我国环境化学和毒理学研究生的国家培训计划，并使碳氢化合物和内分泌干扰化学物质的重要环境研究成为可能，这与工业，学术界和政府监管机构高度相关。

A gas chromatography (GC) system hyphenated to a quadrupole mass selective detector (MSD) is requested for the Laboratory for the Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Environmental Toxicants (L.A.N.S.E.T.) at uOttawa, a research and training facility that routinely analyzes perhaps the widest range of natural and synthetic environmental toxicants of any university-based laboratory in Canada. A basic requirement for our analysis is to conduct chromatographic separations of analytes followed by analysis by mass selective detection. The system requested here is to replace old and outdated equipment, and will represent a fundamental research tool without which our projects cannot be completed. Moreover, L.A.N.S.E.T. provides analytical support to universities and industries nationally and internationally. A GC-MSD platform will permit a broad range of studies examining the presence and distribution of environmental pollutants and their associated risks. Our graduate students and postdoctoral researchers will be trained on this state-of-the-art instrumentation, providing them with marketable skills to make them competitive in the job market after graduation. This equipment will contribute to our national training program for graduate students in environmental chemistry and toxicology, and enable important environmental research on hydrocarbons and endocrine disrupting chemicals that is highly relevant to industry, academia, and government regulators.
