With the funds conveyed in this award, the Biology and Chemistry                Departments of Grinnell College are purchasing a liquid scintillation           spectrometer to permit the use of radioisotopes and liquid scintillation        spectrometry in the laboratories of the Cell Biology, Microbiology,             Genetics, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry courses.  Liquid                    scintillation spectrometry is a powerful analytical tool for the                characterization of proteins and other complex compounds of biological          interest through its ability to detect very low levels of beta                  radiation.  The technique has numerous applications in cellular/                molecular biology and biochemistry--synthesis of cell products,                 metabolic pathways, etc.  The new instrument also will enhance                  significantly the ability of advanced students in the two departments           to conduct independent research in cellular biology and biochemistry.
