High Performance Liquid Chromatography - Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-ICPMS)

高效液相色谱-电感耦合等离子体质谱是测定生物和环境基质中金属和类金属形态的最可靠的尖端技术，对毒理学研究是必不可少的，这也是NRCET成立的主要目的。它将提供一个非常强大的工具来填补我们研究急需的知识空白，并服务于研究生和博士后研究员的需求。这项技术将为研究提供新的机会。它将加强我们在卫生科学学院内部以及与我们在中央昆士兰大学、昆士兰理工大学和格里菲斯大学的研究合作伙伴的联系，并加强我们强大的国内和国际声誉。

HPLC-ICP-MS is the most reliable cutting edge technology for speciation of metals and metalloids in biological and environmental matrices, and is essential for toxicological studies, which is a major aim behind NRCET's establishment. It will provide a very powerful utility to fill a badly needed knowledge gap for our research and serve the needs of both postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This technology will provide new opportunities in research. It will strengthen our linkages within Faculty of Heath Sciences and with our research partners in CQU, QUT and Griffith and enforce our strong national and international reputation.
