The ultra-high sensitivity Agilent ICP-MS is capable of measuring multiple isotopes of multiple elements in a single sample. It is also coupled to a novel system for chromatographic analysis of mercury species.

The Gel Logic 4000 PRO imager offers innovative and advanced functionality for quick capture of high resolution images. Also included is a 3-user full feature version of the Carestream molecular imaging software. This equipment replaces the current Kodak Image Station.

36 Compute Nodes, 432 cores, 1.4 terabytes RAM, 20 Terabytes Additional Storage.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) permits quantification of compounds (i.e., metabolites or biomarkers) related to carbohydrate, protein, and vitamin chemistry.

Creating a high-performance computer laboratory for faculty and graduate students based in Mumford Hall. It will carry three Dell Precision T7500n Dual Processor workstations which will be loaded with a 24-cord version of Stata/MP software. This centralization will allow for excellent collaboration among the community of grad students. Aslo within this computer lab will be 11 Windows-based machines with the following specifications: OptiPlex 990 Mini Tower, Core i7 2600 processor and a 8-core version of Stata/MP.

The nutrition software tools are used to measure nutrient intake analysis and there is a software program that allows integration of several platforms and integration in systems biology pathways.

Qualtrics is a web-based tool for creating, distributing, and analyzing survey data. Thanks to the initiative of two faculty members in ACES, the entire college now has access to the powerful survey/questionnaire tool from Qualtrics.

The UV-1800 UV-VIS spectrophotometer achieves a resolution of 1 nm, the highest in its class, in a compact design. Offering an array of user-friendly features, and can be used either as a stand-alone instrument or as a PC-controlled instrument. A new PC has been purchased for the lab to specifically use with the UV-VIS and recently purchased TOC-LCPN.

UV/Vis/NIR Spectrophotomer has the ability to track, to calculate and store data and is required to determine concentrations of a variety compounds contained in foods, feeds and raw materials, in enzymatic and oxidative reactions, and to identify and quantify the various pigments which affect appearance. It can also be used in the reflectance mode to determine reflection at pre-selected wavelengths and use them to calculate commonly used color terms (L*, a*, b*, delta E, chroma).
