Acquisition of Instrumentation for Oregon State University: Mass Spectrometers for Ocean Change Research

PI申请资金购买具有双进气口和连续进气口能力的气源同位素比质谱仪(GS-IRMS)。这将取代过时和失灵的(已有20年历史)稳定的气源同位素比质谱仪(GS-IRMS)。新的IRMS将设在俄勒冈州立大学海洋和大气科学学院(COAS)的稳定同位素实验室。这是俄勒冈州独一无二的设施，在元素和同位素测量领域建立了地区、国家和国际领先地位。更广泛的影响：俄亥俄州立大学在教育方面有着出色的记录，用户种类繁多，包括少数群体。该仪器将广泛应用于海洋及相关科学的许多领域。所要求的仪器将是俄勒冈州立大学海洋和大气科学学院内通用设施的一部分。该设施在将先进的分析技术融入课程方面有着良好的记录，使本科生和研究生都能从新的仪器中受益。

The PI's request funding to purchase a gas source isotope ratio mass spectrometer (GS-IRMS) with dual-inlet and continuous flow inlet capabilities. This will replace an obsolete and failing (20-year old) stable gas-source isotope ratio mass spectrometer (GS-IRMS). The new IRMS will reside in the Stable Isotope Laboratory in the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at Oregon State University. This is a unique facility in the State of Oregon, and has developed a regional, national, and international reputation as leaders in the areas of elemental and isotopic measurement. Broader Impacts:OSU has an excellent record of strength in education and a wide diversity of users including minorities. The instrument will be employed widely in many fields of marine and related science. The instrumentation requested will be part of a general use facility within the college of ocean and atmospheric sciences at Oregon State University. This facility has an excellent record of incorporating advanced analytical technology into curriculum allowing both undergraduate and graduate students to benefit from the new instrumentation.
