This application is for the purchase of a system for the preparation of environmental samples (water, snow, animal and plant tissues, microorganisms, soils, aerosols) for a new multidisciplinary platform for the ultra-trace analysis of legacy and emergent contaminants that will be available during Summer 2019, in a new Science building at Université de Montréal. This system will allow precise weighing of small samples, the preparation of solutions of digestion and of standards under ultra-clean atmosphere, and the high temperature, high pressure digestion of samples. Without this preparation system, the high performance analytical facility that the platform will host will not be efficiently usable, with consequences for the training of graduate students.******The team that will use this system is formed of 6 researchers offering a rich and multidisciplinary research program, at the intersection of atmospheric chemistry, aquatic and terrestrial biogeochemistry and ecotoxicology, and coming from 4 departments at Université de Montréal and McGill University. These researchers are active leaders in their fields, with 90 published articles in the last 22 months, including papers in Science, Nature Geoscience et Scientific Reports. Without the requested system, the transfer of 5 of them in the new Science building will result in a lower access to their high-end instruments that will be moved in the new platform.******This group of researchers is very active in training highly qualified personnel, having trained 288 persons in the last 6 years in a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment. With this system, we anticipate that around 20 graduate students will immediately and intensely use the new analytical platform. Any delay will result in the slowdown of research and training activities for this large cohort of highly qualified personnel.**

该申请用于购买环境样品（水、雪、动植物组织、微生物、土壤、气溶胶）制备系统，用于对遗留污染物和新兴污染物进行超痕量分析的新多学科平台，该平台将于 2019 年夏季在蒙特利尔大学新科学大楼内投入使用。该系统可实现小样品的精确称量、超净气氛下消解溶液和标准溶液的制备以及样品的高温高压消解。如果没有这个制备系统，该平台将承载的高性能分析设施将无法有效使用，从而影响研究生的培训。********使用该系统的团队由 6 名研究人员组成，他们来自蒙特利尔大学和麦吉尔大学的 4 个系，提供丰富的多学科研究项目，涉及大气化学、水生和陆地生物地球化学以及生态毒理学的交叉领域。 大学。这些研究人员是各自领域的活跃领导者，在过去 22 个月内发表了 90 篇文章，包括《科学》、《自然地球科学》和《科学报告》上的论文。如果没有所要求的系统，将其中 5 名人员转移到新科学大楼将导致其高端仪器的使用率降低，而这些仪器将转移到新平台中。****** 这组研究人员非常积极地培训高素质人才，在过去 6 年中在协作和多学科环境中培训了 288 名人员。有了这个系统，我们预计大约 20 名研究生将立即大量使用新的分析平台。任何延误都将导致这一大批高素质人员的研究和培训活动放缓。**
