Polarimeter

该提案涉及购买旋光仪来测量手性分子的旋光度。之前使用了40年的手术工具已经死亡，更换部件不再可用。旋光度的测量对于出版物的目的是必不可少的。有机化学、生物化学和材料科学的学生和博士后研究员依靠马尼托巴大学的旋光仪来测量手性分子的旋光度。马尼托巴大学目前没有其他旋光仪。旋光度的测量对出版物至关重要。没有它，研究论文将不会被接受，研究成果的出版将被推迟。将研究样本运送到其他大学是不切实际的，最终将变得非常昂贵。

This proposal is concerned with the purchase of a polarimeter to measure optical rotations of chiral molecules. The previously used 40 year old instrument has died and replacement parts are no longer available. Measurements of optical rotations are essential for publication purposes. Students and post-doctoral fellows in organic chemistry, biochemistry and materials sciences depend on the availability of a polarimeter at the University of Manitoba to measure optical rotations of chiral molecules. There is currently no other polarimeter at the University of Manitoba. Measurement of optical rotation is critical for publication. Without it research papers will not get accepted and the publication of research results will be delayed. Shipments of research samples to other Universities is not practical and will eventually become very expensive.
