Abstract

Embrapa Instrumentation develops methods, processes, equipments, sensors and devices for the development of agriculture. This proposal requires the use of the institutional technical reserve (RTI) that the institution has for the year 2015, regarding to the amelioration of our research infrastructure, as following: 1) Room adequation for nitrogen liquefier facility, for use in NMR spectrometers, as well as other uses that require liquid N2. The equipment is in the buying process by Embrapa. 2) Engine and exhaust ducts installation for laboratory fume hoods. Embrapa has purchased the fume hoods and the engine. 3) Dewar for liquid N2 transport, for general use in research. 4) Oscilloscope for general use in the development of instrumentation, useful at this Research Center. All Embrapa Instrumentation researchers will use everything asked. (AU)
