Rhode Island IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence Equipment Purchase

项目摘要 罗得岛IDEA生物医学研究卓越网络（RI-INBRE）计划旨在 提高机构生物医学研究能力，扩大学生培训机会 在罗得岛。这些目标是通过支持教师发展和 提供实际操作的仪器培训。这份行政补充文件要求 布朗大学结构生物学核磁共振设施的回收系统资金， RI-INBRE CRCF扩展实验室（CEL）。高分辨率NMR光谱仪， 生物分子工作需要由液氦冷却的超导磁体。有一个氦 这种短缺威胁着全球的核磁共振系统。所请求的系统将允许 回收氦气以减少消耗，保护这种不可再生资源。

Project Summary The Rhode Island IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (RI-INBRE) program aims to improve institutional biomedical research capacity and expand student training opportunities in Rhode Island. These goals are accomplished by supporting faculty development and providing hands-on instrument training. This administrative supplement requests a helium recycling system funding for Brown University's Structural Biology NMR facility, one of several RI-INBRE CRCF Extension Laboratories (CELs). High-resolution NMR spectrometers for biomolecular work require superconducting magnets cooled by liquid helium. There is a helium shortage that is threatening NMR systems worldwide. The requested system will allow recycling helium to reduce consumption, conserving this non-renewable resource.
