A liquid scintillation counter for biochemical research

这项申请是为购买液体闪烁计数器提供资金。液体闪烁计数器用于检测生物样品中的低水平辐射。通常，这种辐射是由具有生物学意义的放射性标记分子产生的。科学家使用这些分子来研究正常和疾病状态下细胞功能的许多方面。这种设备是所有现代医学研究部门的基本特征，将使渥太华大学的许多研究人员在生命科学方面取得进展，最终有助于人类健康。

This application is for funding to purchase a liquid scintillation counter. Liquid scintillation counters are used to detect low levels of radiation in biological samples. Typically, this radiation is generated from a radioactively labelled molecule that is of biological interest. Scientists use these molecules to study numerous aspects of cellular function in both normal and diseased states. This equipment is a basic feature of all modern medical research departments and will allow many researchers at the University of Ottawa to progress towards making fundamental discoveries in the life sciences that will eventually aid human health.
