Acquisition of Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Instrumentation for the Regional Analytical Chemistry Laboratory

这项来自化学研究仪器和设施计划(CRIF)和主要研究仪器(MRI)计划的奖项将帮助位于夏洛特的北卡罗来纳大学化学系的教员为区域分析化学实验室获得一台液-质联用仪。这款配备高效液相色谱仪的专用大气压电离三重四极杆质谱仪将促进生物化学、有机金属化学、有机(包括聚合物)化学和环境化学等领域的一系列研究项目。高效液相色谱结合质谱学检测是一种极其灵敏但选择性极强的工具，可用于鉴定混合物的组成。该仪器将成为北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校区域分析化学实验室(RACHER)的一部分，以支持整个大学的研究以及卡罗莱纳州南皮德蒙特地区的学术和工业研究基础设施。

This award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities Program (CRIF) and the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program will assist faculty in the Department of Chemistry at The University of North Carolina in Charlotte to acquire a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry instrument for the Regional Analytical Chemistry Laboratory. This dedicated atmospheric pressure ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with high performance liquid chromatograph will facilitate a number of research projects in biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, organic (including polymer) chemistry, and environmental chemistry. High performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric detection is an extremely sensitive yet very selective tool for identifying components of mixtures. This instrument will become part of The University of North Carolina-Charlotte's Regional Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (RACHEL) in support of university-wide research and the academic and industrial research infrastructure of the Southern Piedmont section of the Carolinas.
