Summary
A high resolution, high-throughput chromatographic system for separation and characterisation of complex samples. Purchase of this equipment will support innovative and collaborative research addressing three of the National Research Priority areas. For example, defining novel drug delivery systems, or the chemical components present in Australia's bioresources, addresses 'Frontier technologies for building and transforming Australian industries', particularly the priority goals of breakthrough ....A high resolution, high-throughput chromatographic system for separation and characterisation of complex samples. Purchase of this equipment will support innovative and collaborative research addressing three of the National Research Priority areas. For example, defining novel drug delivery systems, or the chemical components present in Australia's bioresources, addresses 'Frontier technologies for building and transforming Australian industries', particularly the priority goals of breakthrough science and frontier technologies. The research into trace components in food products, and on fruit fly chemistry, relates to National Research priority four 'Safeguarding Australia', with a priority goal of protecting Australia from invasive diseases and pests. Nutraceutical research addresses the goal of 'Promoting and maintaining good health'.Read moreRead less

Summary
Facility for multidimensional fractionation of complex biological mixtures. Acquisition of multidimensional fractionation equipment will allow researchers to separate proteins from complex mixtures, and to compare whole protein profiles of multiple samples. This will permit correlation of specific protein changes associated with infection or disease, a major focus of post-genomic programs of research. The equipment will also provide identification of the key differentiating proteins using mini ....Facility for multidimensional fractionation of complex biological mixtures. Acquisition of multidimensional fractionation equipment will allow researchers to separate proteins from complex mixtures, and to compare whole protein profiles of multiple samples. This will permit correlation of specific protein changes associated with infection or disease, a major focus of post-genomic programs of research. The equipment will also provide identification of the key differentiating proteins using minimal material. Numerous world-class projects and researchers will be able to move more rapidly and reliably from crude cell extracts to identifiable markers, and maintain their competitive positions the recognition of key targets in drug design, disease diagnosis and vaccine development.Read moreRead less
