Structural elucidation by chemical degradation mass spectrometry using a linear ion trap with electron transfer dissociation

我们计划购买的质谱仪器代表了技术上的真正突破，将是澳大利亚第一个此类仪器。拟购买的仪器将提高广泛的研究人员的能力，以确定在医学研究、农业生物技术和天然产品表征等不同领域中重要的化合物的特征。所有类型的化学研究，从基础到应用，都将受益于这一系统，这对社会影响具有明显的积极影响。实施此类前沿技术是保持澳大利亚研究界世界一流能力的重要一步。

The mass spectrometric instrumentation that we plan to acquire represents a true breakthrough in technology, and will be the first of its kind in operation in Australia. The instrument to be purchased will improve the ability of a wide cross section of researchers to characterize compounds important in fields as varied as medical research, agricultural biotechnology, and natural product characterization. All types of chemical research, from fundamental to applied, will benefit from access to this system, which has clearly positive implications with regard to societal impact. Implementing this type of frontier technology is an essential step in maintaining the world class capabilities of the Australian research community.
