Phosphorescence Spectrometer System

本提案是一个磷光光谱仪，以支持UBC化学的四个研究项目。 拟议的仪器将能够荧光和磷光光谱，能够磷光寿命测量，并能容纳各种各样的溶液和固体样品的室温和低温实验。 该仪器将为UBC带来迫切需要的新能力，并将补充现有的基础设施，能够进行荧光光谱和寿命测量。 该基础设施将支持光电器件材料、新型聚合物和光子晶体、用于即时诊断、成像和传感的生物共轭物以及来自森林生物产品的光学活性材料的研究。 大量高素质的人员将接受设备培训，并从其可用性中受益，预计新的和改进的光学和医疗设备的预期成果将使研究领域和加拿大受益。

This proposal is for a phosphorescence spectrometer to support four research programs in UBC Chemistry. The proposed instrument will be capable of fluorescence and phosphorescence spectroscopy, be capable of phosphorescence lifetime measurements, and can accommodate a wide variety of solution and solid samples for room temperature and low temperature experiments. The instrument will bring urgently needed new capability to UBC, and will complement existing infrastructure which is capable of fluorescence spectroscopy and lifetime measurements. Research in materials for optoelectronic devices, new polymers and photonic crystals, bioconjugates for point-of-care diagnostics, imaging and sensing as well as optically active materials derived from forest bioproducts will be supported by this infrastructure. A large number of highly qualified personnel will be trained on the equipment and benefit from its availability, and anticipated outcomes in new and improved optical and medical devices are anticipated, benefiting the research field and Canada.*****
