Introduction of Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) into the Chemistry Curriculum and Integration with Computer-Controlled Gas Chromatography

在南科罗拉多大学的本科化学课程中引入了傅里叶变换红外光谱，结合了计算机控制的气相色谱法，为学生介绍计算机集成仪器的使用、数据库搜索和计算机辅助数据操作提供了一个主要工具。气相色谱与FTIR的结合使学生能够亲身体验在工业和研究中实践的系统处理现实世界中复杂的微量分析问题。漫反射和圆柱形内反射附件允许学生探索最现代的采样技术。直接受影响的课程包括有机化学、物理化学、仪器分析、高级有机化学和独立研究。主修专业和非主修专业都可以使用这种仪器。

The introduction of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, integrated with computer-controlled Gas Chromatography,into the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at the University of Southern Colorado has provided a major tool for introducing students to the use of computer integrated instrumentation, database searching and computer assisted data manipulation. The combination of GC with FTIR allows students hands-on experience with a system dealing with real world complex microanalysis problems as practiced in industry and research. Diffuse reflectance and cylindrical internal reflectance accessories allow students to explore most modern sampling techniques. Course directly impacted include Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, Advanced Organic Chemistry and Independent Study. Both majors and non-majors are exposed to this instrumentation.
