Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The continuation of the EPSRC National Mass Spectrometry Service Centre (NMSSC) at Swansea will ensure that a proven higt quality mass spectrometry service, at a very reasonable cost, will be delivered to the UK Chemistry research base. This vital servicE will assist to underpin the competitiveness of UK Science by providing excellent service quality, speed of analysis anc professionalism. The track record of the Swansea Centre attests to this. The grant is requested to keep the NMSSC runninc efficiently for the next 5 years, until 31 March 2007. New instruments are required both to replace ageing equipment to maintain the present level of service, as well as to provide new techniques, such as MALD1, to meet future demand from the academic chemistry community. The business plan seeks to increase capacity so that supply can keep up with demand and close the gap when and i required. The strategy is to continue to gently evolve to extend the services offered, improve productivity whilst maintaining higt standards to provide an internationally competitive service at all times. Enhanced service will be achieved using key performance indicators to improve the quality of service and level of customer satisfaction, whilst reducing the cost per analysis.
