Multiport freeze dryer

这是申请资金购买冻干机，也被称为冷冻干燥机。该仪器将由滑铁卢大学化学系的Scott Taylor博士、John Honek博士和Elizabeth Meiering博士的研究小组使用。冻干，也被称为冷冻干燥，是一种非常重要的技术，用于浓缩和纯化生物化合物，如核苷酸，碳水化合物，蛋白质和肽。它通过升华的过程去除挥发性杂质，如挥发性盐。Taylor、Honek和Meiring的研究小组依靠这种技术来纯化他们的许多生物分子。他们研究的最终目标是阐明阿尔海默病、癌症和糖尿病等疾病的潜在原因，并开发治疗这些疾病的疗法。所要求的冻干机将是使他们能够实现这些目标的关键。

This application is for funds to purchase a lyophilizer, also known as a freeze-dryer. This instrument will be used by the research groups of Dr. Scott Taylor, Dr. John Honek and Dr. Elizabeth Meiering in the Dept. of Chemistry at the University of Waterloo. Lyophilization, also known as freeze-drying, is a very important technique used for concentrating and purifying biological compounds such as nucleotides, carbohydrates, proteins and peptides. It removes volatile impurities, such as volatile salts, by a process known as sublimation. The Taylor, Honek and Meiring research groups rely on this technique to purify many of their biomolecules. The ultimate goals of their research is to elucidate the underlying causes of diseases such as Alheimer's disease, cancer and diabetes and to develop therapeutics for treating these diseases. The requested lyophilizer will be crucial in enabling them to achieve these goals.
