Summary
Upgrade of Infrared Analytical Facility. This application seeks funding to upgrade the existing infrared analytical facility in the Central Science Laboratory (CSL) by installing a near infrared analyser.This instrument will provide analytical support to researchers in the fields of silviculture, agriculture and chemistry by providing a low cost, rapid and accurate analysis of the chemical and physical properties of large sample numbers.This instrument will dramatically reduce the project costs, ....Upgrade of Infrared Analytical Facility. This application seeks funding to upgrade the existing infrared analytical facility in the Central Science Laboratory (CSL) by installing a near infrared analyser.This instrument will provide analytical support to researchers in the fields of silviculture, agriculture and chemistry by providing a low cost, rapid and accurate analysis of the chemical and physical properties of large sample numbers.This instrument will dramatically reduce the project costs, compared with traditional wet analytical methods,and enable larger and statistically more significant data sets to be acquired.The expected outcomes will include a more rapid identification of the genes controlling plant characteristics and the development of targeted plant breeding programs of economic significance to Australia.The development of specific resins for gold extraction will be both economically and environmentally important.Read moreRead less
