Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.,the world leader in serving science, and National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Environmental Research Institute (NERI), a leading global interdisciplinary institute for environmental sciences and engineering announced that they have formed a collaboration to study how metabolism in plants and bacteria affects water quality and the ecosystem in and around Singapore.
在研究中，NERI和新加坡环境生命科学工程中心（SCELSE）的研究人员，跨学科研究中心（RCE），由国家研究基金会，新加坡教育部，NUS和Nanyang Techn亚博老虎机网登录ology University资助，Nanyang Technology University，将如何研究代谢组（在给定时间存在于生物体中的所有代谢产物）与城市水周期中微生物的功能有关。该团队将采用广泛的分析工具，包括最先进的液相色谱/质谱（LC-MS）系统来识别和测量样品中的代谢物。目标之一是更好地理解和增强使用自然过程减少或消除地表水中的营养和污染物的城市水道的自我纯化能力。另一个目标是了解废水净化的代谢基础，以改善所涉及的过程。
“安全和可持续的质量水是人类和生态系统健康的基础。通过更好地了解植物和微生物如何影响我们的水质，我们可以考虑开发改进的工具或方法，这些工具或方法可以显着提高我们更谨慎地识别健康和环境威胁的能力。我们很高兴能与Thermo Fisher Scientific合作努力努力，并相信这种合作结合了自然和技术，将导致我们获得新发现，这将使社会受益。。
“NERI and Thermo Fisher Scientific share the vision of helping to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer, which is why we are so delighted to team up with this group of expert scientists in environmental sciences,” said Bhaskar Narayanaan, Vice President and General Manager, Thermo Fisher Singapore. “This combination of research expertise with Thermo Scientific analytical technology creates tremendous synergy.”
Under this collaboration:
Thermo Fisher Scientific will enhance NERI’s existing LC-MS systems (Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Velos Pro hybrid LC-MS and the Thermo Scientific Equan MAX turnkey automated, high throughput LC-MS system for water analysis) with the latest state-of-the-art instrumentation and technologies including the new Thermo Scientific Exactive Plus high-resolution and accurate mass LC/MS.
NERI and SCELSE researchers will have special access to the comprehensive range of Thermo Fisher Scientific laboratory solutions as workflow needs dictate.
An active exchange of ideas and expertise will be promoted to enhance equipment knowledge and software performance.
将努力为科学界开发新的样本准备方法，创新应用和出版物。
NERI and Thermo Fisher Scientific will work to expand the workforce in the field of Environmental Metabolomics.
