A gas chromatography system hyphenated to a mass selective detector (GC-MSD) for the Laboratory for the Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Environmental Toxicants (L.A.N.S.E.T.).

天然和合成环境毒物分析实验室（L.A.N.S.E.T.）需要一个与四极杆质量选择检测器（MSD）联用的气相色谱（GC）系统。uOttawa是一个研究和培训机构，定期分析可能是加拿大任何大学实验室中最广泛的天然和合成环境毒物。我们分析的基本要求是对分析物进行色谱分离，然后通过质量选择性检测进行分析。这里所要求的系统是为了取代陈旧过时的设备，并将成为一个基本的研究工具，没有它，我们的项目就无法完成。 此外，L.A.N.S.E.T.为国内外的大学和行业提供分析支持。GC-MSD平台将允许对环境污染物的存在和分布及其相关风险进行广泛的研究。我们的研究生和博士后研究人员将接受这种最先进的仪器的培训，为他们提供市场技能，使他们毕业后在就业市场上具有竞争力。该设备将有助于我们为环境化学和毒理学研究生提供的国家培训计划，并使碳氢化合物和内分泌干扰化学品的重要环境研究与工业，学术界和政府监管机构高度相关。

A gas chromatography (GC) system hyphenated to a quadrupole mass selective detector (MSD) is requested for the Laboratory for the Analysis of Natural and Synthetic Environmental Toxicants (L.A.N.S.E.T.) at uOttawa, a research and training facility that routinely analyzes perhaps the widest range of natural and synthetic environmental toxicants of any university-based laboratory in Canada. A basic requirement for our analysis is to conduct chromatographic separations of analytes followed by analysis by mass selective detection. The system requested here is to replace old and outdated equipment, and will represent a fundamental research tool without which our projects cannot be completed. Moreover, L.A.N.S.E.T. provides analytical support to universities and industries nationally and internationally. A GC-MSD platform will permit a broad range of studies examining the presence and distribution of environmental pollutants and their associated risks. Our graduate students and postdoctoral researchers will be trained on this state-of-the-art instrumentation, providing them with marketable skills to make them competitive in the job market after graduation. This equipment will contribute to our national training program for graduate students in environmental chemistry and toxicology, and enable important environmental research on hydrocarbons and endocrine disrupting chemicals that is highly relevant to industry, academia, and government regulators.
