The requested funding will facilitate the expansion of the activities of the University of Tasmania (UTas) node of the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science and its collaborators. This initiative will involve the application of integrated, high resolution technologies for the separation and identification of complex chemical and biological samples. The instrument is to be shared by a number of highly research-active groups at UTas in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, plant and agricultural science, Antarctic studies, and pharmacy where detailed structural identification of components separated from complex mixtures is essential. These projects all focus on fundamental and applied research of great national significance.Read moreRead less
Bioanalytical Microchips Based on Integrated, Application Tailored Monolithic Modules. Microfluidic devices offer substantial advantages over current technology, in terms of speed, cost of analysis, portability, operator simplicity and safety. Integrating multiple analytical processes within a simple and reliable portable device will lead to application in a range of areas, from pharmacology to therapeutic drug monitoring, proteomic and metabolomic screening for disease diagnosis and drug develo ....Bioanalytical Microchips Based on Integrated, Application Tailored Monolithic Modules. Microfluidic devices offer substantial advantages over current technology, in terms of speed, cost of analysis, portability, operator simplicity and safety. Integrating multiple analytical processes within a simple and reliable portable device will lead to application in a range of areas, from pharmacology to therapeutic drug monitoring, proteomic and metabolomic screening for disease diagnosis and drug development, and also for performing clinical diagnostics in a rural area. This will significantly impact on the quality of life of the Nation as a whole, not only due to expedient diagnosis and treatment which has obvious health benefits, but also in the considerable financial benefits that result from early and efficient treatment.
