Summary
Western Australian Facility for High Throughput Biological and Organic Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Disciplines such as pharmaceuticals, plant protection, mineral extraction, and conservation all need to separate, identify and quantify molecules. The method of choice for small molecules (< 500 amu) is gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A broad range of laboratories in WA are using GC-MS, but the equipment is fully utilised, outdated and limiting progress.

Disciplines such as pharmaceuticals, plant protection, mineral extraction, and conservation all need to separate, identify and quantify molecules. The method of choice for small molecules (< 500 amu) is gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A broad range of laboratories in WA are using GC-MS, but the equipment is fully utilised, outdated and limiting progress. This application seeks to purchase research grade GC-MS equipment with order-of-magnitude improvements in mass range, sample throughput, discrimination and data handling capacities. This equipment will transform capabilities and will enhance projects supporting the minerals and agricultural industries and enhance biodiversity conservation efforts.Read moreRead less

Summary
Advanced gas chromatography mass spectrometry instrumentation for the analysis of highly complex systems. Advanced instrumentation is required for analysis of the composition of highly complex samples derived from plants, soil, petroleum, water, food and wine. Sample analyses like these form the basis of many applied science research programs. This equipment will offer improved analytical capability and sensitivity, which will enhance the scale and scope of research that can be undertaken.
