This project will improve undergraduate laboratory courses in advanced organic chemistry and instrumental analysis, and will enhance the ongoing undergraduate research program of SUNY-College at Oswego, by introducing liquid scintillation counting (LSC) into the chemistry curriculum. A liquid scintillation counter, a device used to measure low levels of radioactivity, will be used by students for a variety of applications involving radioactive tracers. These investigations include studies of chemical reaction pathways, analyses of mixtures, and elucidation of biochemical pathways. As an analytical technique LSC is simple and safe, yet extremely powerful, and highly efficient for detecting low-energy beta radiation. Providing students with experience in LSC is especially valuable because of the extensive role LSC plays today in industry and in chemical and biological research.

通过将液体闪烁计数（LSC）引入化学课程，该项目将改善高等有机化学和仪器分析的本科实验课程，并将加强纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校正在进行的本科研究项目。液体闪烁计数器，一种用于测量低水平放射性的设备，将被学生用于涉及放射性示踪剂的各种应用。这些研究包括化学反应途径的研究、混合物的分析和生化途径的阐明。作为一种分析技术，LSC是一种简单、安全、功能强大、检测低能辐射效率高的分析技术。为学生提供LSC的经验尤其有价值，因为LSC在今天的工业和化学和生物研究中发挥着广泛的作用。
