ICP-MS INSTRUMENT FOR BAYLOR COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY:TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORD

该子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的共享仪器补助金提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是资助机构，不一定是研究者的机构。描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是为建立的贝勒牙科学院生物材料设施获得电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP-MS）。该设施目前拥有一系列用于大型和小型样品的材料测试机器（Instron和Test Resources），用于大型和小型样品制备的机床，以及用于构建独特设备的机床，放大器（Vishay, Grass）以及用于应变计和肌电图研究的设备，超声波分析设备（panameics， HP），运动分析设备（Optitrac）和现代SEM。众多计算机工作站都不同程度地配备了数据采集软件（HP Vee）和硬件（data Translations）、三维重建软件（Analyze、RevWorks）、CAD软件（AutoCAD、SolidWorks）、FEM软件（Algor、ANSYS）以及各种数据分析软件工具（Excel、Minitab、SPSS、Systat、Slidewrite等）。目前，生物材料系已经为ICP-MS分配了空间。我们得到了研究与高等教育副院长和生物材料系主任的机构支持。已经确定了五个研究小组，它们需要新设备来进行广泛的项目。研究人员跨越了许多年龄段，从年轻的研究人员到资深科学家。大多数参与者目前都有小灵通补助金支持或正在申请补助金。他们期待着在生物材料核心设施中使用该设备来加强和扩展他们的研究。我们没有ICP-MS仪器。之前的实验是通过与日本的研究人员合作完成的。我们已经确定达拉斯地区有两个实验室有适当的仪器，但他们不能分析我们的样品（见通信）。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Shared Instrumentation Grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the grant, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application is to acquire an Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) for the established Baylor College of Dentistry Biomaterials facility. The facility currently houses a range of materials testing machines for large and small specimens (Instron and Test Resources), machine tools for large and small specimen preparation, and for constructing unique devices, amplifiers (Vishay, Grass) and devices for strain gage and EMG studies, ultrasonic analysis equipment (Panametrics, HP), equipment for motion analysis (Optitrac), and a modern SEM. Numerous computer workstations are variably equipped with data acquisition software (HP Vee) and hardware (Data Translations), 3D reconstruction software (Analyze, RevWorks, CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks), FEM software (Algor, ANSYS), and a variety of data analysis software tools (Excel, Minitab, SPSS, Systat, Slidewrite, etc.). Currently the Department of Biomaterials has allocated space for the ICP-MS. We have obtained institutional support from the Associate Dean for Research and Advanced Education and the Department of Biomaterials Chairman. Five research groups have been identified that need the new equipment for a broad range of projects. The researchers span many age groups from young investigators to senior scientists. Most participants have current PHS grant support or have grants pending. They are looking forward to enhancing and extending their research with this equipment in the Biomaterials core facility. We do not have access to an ICP-MS instrument. Previous experiments were completed by collaborating with investigators in Japan. We have identified two laboratories in the Dallas area that have appropriate instruments, but they cannot analyze our samples (see correspondence).
