We are requesting funds to purchase a console for a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The console is the part of the spectrometer which generates, detects, and records the magnetic signals from a solid material. Our current instrument is nearly 20 years old, is obsolete by multiple generations, and due to recent failures, cannot do many of the measurements we need for our research programs. Because the current console is so out-of-date, the failures can no longer be repaired. Other parts of the spectrometer, including the magnet, amplifiers, and probes, remain operational. We have used and wish to continue to use this instrument, as it forms a critical component for a wide variety of research programs. These include determination of glass structure for application in optical and fibre optic devices; development of new biomedical implants; study of biomaterials, including spider silk; and fundamental studies of chemical reactivity. This instrument is used broadly, not only at Dalhousie University and Saint Mary's University, but also to serve other academic labs both in Canada and internationally, and numerous industrial clients. It is used substantially as well in HQP training for these various user bases. The loss of this instrument would be a serious set-back to all these programs, while with the modest investment of at RTI grant, its life can be significantly prolonged.

我们要求资金购买用于核磁共振（NMR）光谱仪的控制台。控制台是光谱仪的一部分，该光谱仪会产生，检测和记录固体材料中的磁信号。我们当前的仪器已有近20年的历史，已经被多代已经过时了，由于最近的失败，无法完成我们对研究计划所需的许多测量。由于当前的控制台非常过时，因此无法再维修故障。光谱仪的其他部分，包括磁铁，放大器和探针，仍保持运行。我们已经使用并希望继续使用该工具，因为它构成了各种研究计划的关键组成部分。这些包括确定用于在光学和光纤设备中应用的玻璃结构；开发新的生物医学植入物；研究生物材料，包括蜘蛛丝；以及化学反应性的基本研究。该乐器不仅在达尔豪西大学和圣玛丽大学都广泛使用，而且还为加拿大和国际上的其他学术实验室提供服务，以及众多的工业客户。它在这些各种用户群的HQP培训中也可以实质上使用。该工具的损失将是所有这些计划的严重屈服，而随着RTI Grant的适度投资，其寿命可以大大延长。
