Improving Undergraduate Instruction with High Pressure Liquid Chromatography and Atomic Absorption

罗德岛学院化学系最近获得了一台高压液相色谱仪（HPLC）和一台计算机接口原子吸收光谱仪（AA），用于改进本科教学。有了这些新课程，学生将接触到更广泛的现代研究和工业实验室中使用的仪器，并获得使用这些仪器的经验，以提高他们解决问题的能力。分析技能正在培养，这将帮助学生为研究生院或化学和其他科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。

The Chemistry Department at Rhode Island College has recently acquired a high pressure liquid chromatograph (HPLC) and a computer interfaced atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer for use in improving undergraduate instruction. With these additions, students are exposed to a wider range of the instruments used in modern research and industrial laboratories and gain experience in using these instruments to increase their problem-solving skills. Analytical skills are being developed which will help prepare students for graduate school or careers in chemistry and other sciences.
