400 MHz NMR spectrometer for `walk-on` use in chemical synthesis at UTM

位于密西索加的多伦多大学的化学小组提议购买一台核磁共振光谱仪，以支持合成化学的研究。 新设施将为生物有机、无机、聚合物、分析和生物物理化学领域的50多名博士后、研究生和本科生研究人员提供24小时服务，并且还迫切需要它来支持研究从2007年开始，在UTM医学院的框架内聘请新教师。这些设备对于满足当地仪器需求和确保加拿大研究和商业领域蓬勃发展的合成化学研究环境至关重要。通过这项投资，该部门还将加强与生物技术和制药公司的联系，这些公司已经与毕业生UTM生物技术硕士课程（http：//www.utm.utoronto.ca/1659.0.html），与密西索加的当地化学公司以及与邻近的谢里丹科技园（http://www.sheridanpark.ca）密切相关。UTM化学组的大多数PI严重依赖化学合成作为其研究的一个组成部分。

The chemistry group at the University of Toronto at Mississauga proposes to purchase a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer to support research in synthetic chemistry.   The new facility will be made available 24 hours a day to more than 50 postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate researchers in the areas of bio-organic, inorganic, polymer, analytical, and biophysical chemistry, and it will also be critically needed to support research by new faculty to be hired within the framework of the Medical Academy at UTM, beginning in 2007. The equipment is essential for satisfying local instrument needs and securing a thriving synthetic chemistry research environment in areas of vital interest to Canadian research and business. Through this investment, the department also will strengthen the association with Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Companies already closely linked with the graduate UTM Master of Biotechnology Program ( http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/1659.0.html), with local chemical companies in Mississauga, and with the neighboring Sheridan Science and Technology Park ( http://www.sheridanpark.ca). Most PIs in the chemistry group at UTM rely heavily on chemical synthesis as an integral component of their research.
