The National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded the University of Rochester a $529,333 Project Grant on July 15, 2026, under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (PY-GC-MS) system for advanced chemical characterization of micro- and nano plastics. The three-component system comprises an Agilent 8890 gas chromatography unit equipped with a ZOEX ZX1 thermal modulator for two-dimensional GC×GC analysis, an Agilent 7250 GC/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer detector, and a CDS Pyroprobe 6150 with autosampler. This instrumentation will be deployed to support the Lake Ontario Microplastics Center, an NIH/NSF-funded research hub operating under the Centers for Oceans and Human Health Program based in Rochester, New York. The acquired system addresses a critical research need by providing high-resolution analytical capabilities to identify and quantify nano plastics and micro plastics in biological and environmental samples with minimal false positives—a capability unmatched by conventional analytical methods such as microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, or Raman spectroscopy. The instrument will enable transdisciplinary research on micro and nano plastic effects on human health and the environment, with particular focus on understanding how nano plastics enter the body, accumulate in tissues including the brain and placenta, and impact biological processes. The award period extends through July 14, 2027.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
