Urgent Replacement of a UV/Vis Spectrophotometer with a Thermostatted Peltier Multicell Holder for Bioorganic and Nucleic Acid Chemistry Research
EF 2023-24
Résumé
This application requests a multicell UV/VIS spectrophotometer capable of performing absorbance measurements at multiple wavelengths that is also proficient for data acquisition at variable temperatures ranging from 0 to 100oC to replace a critical instrument that is no longer functional. Such an instrument plays a vital role for trainees to characterize nucleic acid secondary structures to evaluate their thermal stability as well as provide important thermodynamic and kinetic information. This instrument will be located on the Loyola Campus of Concordia University in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry in the Renaud Science Pavillion where it would be readily accessible to trainees.
