近日，東曹生命科學(xué)（Tosoh Bioscience LLC）與美國(guó)阿克倫大學(xué)的高分子科學(xué)與高分子工程學(xué)院共同建立了一所新的聯(lián)合實(shí)驗(yàn)室，主要應(yīng)用于高分子復(fù)合材料的分析研究領(lǐng)域。并于2016年5月11日，舉行了隆重的實(shí)驗(yàn)室開(kāi)幕儀式。

該實(shí)驗(yàn)室位于阿克倫大學(xué)的“Goodyear Polymer Center”，東曹公司向其提供了先進(jìn)的凝膠滲透色譜儀系統(tǒng)（GPC）以支持在學(xué)術(shù)和工業(yè)界工作的高分子科學(xué)家們的研究工作。

在開(kāi)幕儀式上，阿克倫大學(xué)高分子科學(xué)與高分子工程學(xué)院院長(zhǎng)Dr. Eric Amis說(shuō)到“這所新建的實(shí)驗(yàn)室將有助于推進(jìn)該領(lǐng)域的研究人員在新型聚合物、納米材料、生物材料等開(kāi)發(fā)與應(yīng)用上的前沿研究。”

同時(shí)，阿克倫大學(xué)高分子科學(xué)系研究教授和副院長(zhǎng)Dr. Matt Becker表示“該聯(lián)合實(shí)驗(yàn)室是目前北美地區(qū)zui大和zui多樣化的GPC學(xué)術(shù)設(shè)施，它將為該地區(qū)高分子領(lǐng)域的研究人員尋求先進(jìn)色譜技術(shù)的寶貴資源。”

Tosoh Bioscience LLC and The University of Akron Debut The Tosoh Polymer Chromatography Laboratory at the Goodyear Polymer Center, Akron, OH

King of Prussia, PA (PRWEB) May 10, 2016 -- Tosoh Bioscience and the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering at The University of Akron, one of the world’s top-ranked polymer sciences programs, will celebrate the opening of a new laboratory for the analysis of polymers and composite materials this Wednesday, May 11. The Tosoh Polymer Chromatography Laboratory located at the Goodyear Polymer Center offers start-of-the-art Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) Systems from Tosoh Bioscience for polymer scientists working in academia and industry.

Dr. Eric Amis, Dean of the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering and Vice Provost for Research, explains that the mission of this newly created laboratory is, “to educate the next generation of polymer scientists with the best tools for their cutting edge research to create, understand and use new polymers, nanomaterials, and biomaterials.”

“Scientists within the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering and surrounding industry now have access to technology that provides superior performance with increased throughput capabilities,” said David Olenski, GPC Product Manager, Tosoh Bioscience LLC. “The University of Akron and local companies are engaged in breakthrough research and development. Tosoh is excited about meeting the needs and challenges of these polymer scientists.”

The laboratory will also be resourced with external detection instrumentation provided by Wyatt Technology. Dr. Matt Becker, Associate Dean for Research and Professor in the Department of Polymer Science, says, “This is a unique partnership that represents the largest and most diverse academic GPC facility in North America. It will be an invaluable resource for the industry members locally and regionally looking for advanced chromatography.”
