APPLICATIONS OF FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROMETER

购买Digilab 15/90傅立叶变换红外光谱仪的资金 光谱仪被要求确保目前资助的成功 美国国立卫生研究院赠款，并加强学院的研究能力， 犹他州大学的药剂师。 传统色散仪器 药学院内可用的是无法满足目前的 大学的研究需求，因为（1）低能量吞吐量;（2）低 信噪比;（3）长扫描时间;和（4）可变分辨率。 有限的访问是可能的，每周只有10个小时的傅立叶变换 红外光谱仪外的药学院具有 研究人员所需的能力。 生物医学研究在 直接受益于购买FTIR的药学院包括 （1）血液凝固;（2）药物与天然药物相互作用 组织或聚合物;（3）开发新的药物递送系统;（4） 提高现有药物的疗效;（5）开发新药;（6） 了解代谢途径;（7）识别有机 海洋生物可能具有生物医学用途的代谢物的结构。

Funding for the purchase of a Digilab 15/90 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer is being requested to insure the success of currently funded NIH grants and to enhance the research capabilities of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah. Traditional dispersive instruments available within the College of Pharmacy are not able to meet the current research needs of the College because of (1) low energy throughput; (2) low signal-to-noise ratios; (3) long scan times; and (4) variable resolution. Limited access is possible for only 10 hours a week on a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer outside of the College of Pharmacy having the capabilities required by the investigators. Biomedical research within the College of Pharmacy directly benefiting from the purchase of a FTIR include the studies of (1) blood coagulation; (2) drugs interacting with natural tissues or polymers; (3) development of new drug-delivery systems; (4) improving efficacy of current drugs; (5) development of new drugs; (6) understanding metabolic pathways; and (7) identification of organic structures of metabolites of possible biomedical use from marine organisms.
