Acquisition of a mass spectrometer & continuous-flow inlet systems for analyses of H,C,H,O & S stable istopes in ultra-small gas liquid & solid samples for research in

该奖项为购买和安装质谱仪提供了部分资金（66%）支持，该质谱仪能够测量从天然材料中提取的非常小的氢样品中的氢同位素比率。质谱仪将在宾夕法尼亚州立大学地球科学系安装和操作，宾夕法尼亚州立大学承诺提供购买和安装仪器所需的剩余资金。新仪器的能力将用于研究和教育活动，旨在更好地了解地球历史上通过有机和无机过程的氢途径。＊＊＊

0080267Freeman This award provides partial funding (66%) support for the acquisition and installation of a mass spectrometer capable of measuring hydrogen isotope ratios in very small hydrogen samples taken from natural materials. The mass spectrometer will be installed and operated in the Department of Geosciences at the Pennsylvania State University, and the University is committed to providing the remaining funds needed to acquire and install the instrument. The capabilities of the new instrument will be used in research and educational activities aimed at a better understanding of hydrogen pathways through organic and inorganic processes during earth history. ***
