Western Australian Facility for High Throughput Biological and Organic Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

制药、植物保护、矿物提取和保护等学科都需要分离、鉴定和量化分子。小分子（< 500 μ）的选择方法是气相色谱和质谱（GC-MS）。在西澳范围广泛的实验室正在使用气相色谱-质谱，但设备是充分利用，过时和限制进步。本申请寻求购买研究级GC-MS设备，在质量范围，样品吞吐量，鉴别和数据处理能力方面具有数量级的改进。这些设备将改变能力，并将加强支持矿产和农业工业的项目，并加强生物多样性保护工作。

Disciplines such as pharmaceuticals, plant protection, mineral extraction, and conservation all need to separate, identify and quantify molecules. The method of choice for small molecules (< 500 amu) is gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A broad range of laboratories in WA are using GC-MS, but the equipment is fully utilised, outdated and limiting progress. This application seeks to purchase research grade GC-MS equipment with order-of-magnitude improvements in mass range, sample throughput, discrimination and data handling capacities. This equipment will transform capabilities and will enhance projects supporting the minerals and agricultural industries and enhance biodiversity conservation efforts.
