Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry in an Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

阿巴拉契亚州立大学化学系最近获得了一台离子陷阱质谱仪和一台微型计算机系统，当与气相色谱仪连接时，这些系统为本科生提供了扩大他们使用现代仪器经验的机会。学生使用该系统是天然产物化学课程的一个组成部分，也是一门致力于使用计算机化仪器的课程。此外，在有机化学实验室中，该仪器在入门课程中用作授课演示工具和定性和定量工具。

The Chemistry Department at Appalachian State University has recently acquired an ion trap mass spectrometer and a microcomputer system which when interfaced with a gas chromatograph affords undergraduate students opportunities to expand their experience with modern instrumentation. Student use of this system is an integral part of a course in natural products chemistry, and one devoted to the use of computerized instrumentation. In addition, the instrument is used in introductory courses as a lecture demonstration tool and as a qualitative and quantitative tool in the organic chemistry laboratory.
