WIZARD 2 gamma counter for molecular and integrative biology

放射性标记碘(I125)的使用是Sharom博士、Bernier博士、Van Der Kraak博士和Heland博士研究计划的重要组成部分。Guelph大学新科学综合体(NSC)用于这项研究的伽马计数器的可用性最近受到了影响，因此我们要求资金从Perkin Elmer购买Wizard2 5探测器伽马计数器。申请人实验室的研究重点是内分泌和神经内分泌系统(Bernier、Van Der Kraak和Heland)的功能和进化，以及各种膜过程的研究(Heland和Sharom)。圭尔夫大学的新科学综合体(NSC)是一个大型综合设施，允许80多名研究人员进行协作交互，由于缺乏具有高通量能力的功能性伽马计数器，这显著阻碍了这四个研究计划的实施，延迟提供这种设备将显著降低生产率并阻碍进展。

The use of radioactively labeled iodine (I125) is an essential component of the research programs of Drs. Sharom, Bernier, Van Der Kraak and Heyland. The availability of a gamma counter for this research in the New Science Complex (NSC) at the University of Guelph has been recently compromised and we are therefore requesting funds to purchase a Wizard2 5-detector gamma counter from Perkin Elmer. Research in the applicant's laboratories focuses on the function and evolution of endocrine and neuroendcrine systems (Bernier, Van Der Kraak and Heyland) as well as the study of a diversity of membrane processes (Heyland and Sharom). The lack of a functional gamma counter with high throughput capabilities in the New Science Complex (NSC) at the University of Guelph, a massive integrated facility which allows collaborative interactions between more than 80 researchers, is significantly holding back these four research programs and delays in having this equipment available will significantly reduce productivity and inhibit progress.
