TRCabout
The TRC is designed to help you identify instrumentation
which may be useful in your research and then to aid you in acquiring a
basic
working knowledge to start your studies. The TRC
tree is a good
place to
start. This tool is designed to help you sort through the many
possibilities given your system limitations (e.g. small amount of
available
sample, impure, etc.) and the information desired (e.g. mass,
hydrodynamic
radius, etc.). The promising techniques can then be researched in
greater
detail under the instrumentation
summaries where you will find a
description of the technology, some of which has only recently been
developed, as
well as images, tips
on usage, and pertinent equations. These summaries are
available in printer
friendly monograph.
Under
software you will find
a
short
description of what the analysis
programs for
various instruments can do and links for downloading or
purchasing. Lastly, audio or video tutorials
of the instrument usage or software
aspects
are included so that new users can get started. Along the way you
find additional information in the form of links (manufacturers and
general), references (mostly review pdf) , web references , images , equations and powerpoint
presentations . Please let us
know if you find a particularly good
reference, a new
technique/tip we should add, or have a suggestion by using the feedback
option. In order to
fully use this resource, you will need Real Player (for some tutorials)
and Acrobat Reader (for references). The TRC has been
designed for use with Explorer or Mozilla on a PC.
"One
of the principal objects of
theoretical research in any department of knowledge is to find the point of view from
which the subject appears in its
greatest simplicity."
