Prodigy Cryoprobe for Environmental NMR Research

神童冷冻探针，这里要求将支持在环境核磁共振（NMR）中心（多伦多大学）的所有研究计划。这包括专注于土壤结构，土壤修复，全球变暖，水生污染物运输，碳循环和可持续农业的计划。所要求的技术将24/7使用，并提供了3倍的灵敏度增加（或相应的9倍的时间节省）超过传统的室温NMR探针。该技术将影响所有项目，允许前所未有地检测新化合物/键/相互作用和/或将中心的吞吐量提高近10倍。该技术将在早期发现亚致死暴露于环境污染物以及这如何影响整体生态系统健康方面产生最大影响。

The prodigy cryoprobe, requested here will support all research programs in the environmental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) center (University of Toronto). This includes programs focusing on soil structure, soil remediation, global warming, aquatic contaminant transport, carbon cycling and sustainable agriculture. The technology requested will be used 24/7 and provides a 3 fold increase in sensitivity (or a corresponding 9 fold time saving) over a conventional room temperature NMR probes. The technology will impact all programs, permitting unprecedented detection of new compounds/bonds/interactions and/or increasing the throughput of the center by nearly 10 times. The technology will have greatest impact in the early detection of sub-lethal exposure to environmental contaminants and how this impacts overall ecosystem health.
