Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
University of Windsor
$150,000.00
Mass Spectrometer
FY 2014-15
Summary
One of the defining characteristics of a molecule or aggregate of molecules is molecular weight (or molecular mass). This information is absolutely essential for the proper identification and characterization of any new chemical compound or material. This application requests funds to aid in the purchase a mass spectrometer (MS) which can be used to provide this data.This fundamental piece of instrumentation will be utilized by ten members of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor who undertake research projects that, in some way, involve the synthesis of new chemical compounds. Applications of this research range from new high tech materials and polymers to pharmaceuticals. This will be managed and maintained by a departmental technician with a PhD specializing in mass spectrometry and is expected to provide reliable data for this group of scientists through the next decade.
