Acquisition of a Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer for the University of Nevado-Reno

该提案要求提供资金，以购买一台四极质谱计，作为位于联合国大学校园的核心质谱学设施的基础。该仪器将用于支持本提案中所述方案的六个主要用户以及被列为次要用户的用户的研究。这种水平的研究活动所产生的需求超出了我们大学现有的质谱仪的能力。该大学同意支付152,161美元，而总成本为304,322美元。NSF要求的资金水平是剩余的152,161美元。这一数字仅反映了仪器本身的成本。联合国后勤基地将支付场地翻修、运营、维护和安装费用。

This proposal requests funds to purchase a quadrupole mass spectrometer which would serve as the basis of a core mass spectrometry facility, to be located on the UNR campus. The instrument would be used to support the research of the six major users whose programs are described in this proposal, along with those listed as minor users. The demand generated by this level of research activity exceeds the capabilities of existing mass spectrometry instrumentation at our university. The university has agreed to pay 152,161 dollars towards the total cost of 304,322 dollars. The requested level of funding from NSF is the remaining 152,161 dollars. This figure reflects only the cost of the instrumentation itself. UNR will pay for the site renovation, operation, maintenance, and installation.
