Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement in the Chemistry Department

化学实验室的产品正在升级， 收购Spectronic 20 D型流量计和Westronics 记录仪、岛津紫外分光光度计、电子天平和 Perkin Elmer FT-IR 1600分光光度计。 仪器方法是 被引入新生课程，随后在 二年级的课程 学生们正在准备无机和有机 化合物，然后使用仪器来表征它们， 来研究它们的光谱特性。 通过使用Spectronic 20 和记录紫外分光光度计，学生们被给予 有机会看到仪器仪表可以对 保持战略定力 受赠人正在匹配来自非联邦来源的奖励。

The chemistry laboratory offerings are being upgraded with the acquisition of Spectronic 20 model D spectrophotometers and Westronics recorders, a Shimadzu UV spectrophotometer, electronic balances and a Perkin Elmer FT-IR 1600 spectrophotometer. Instrumental methods are being introduced into freshman courses followed by expanded usage in the sophomore courses. Students are preparing inorganic and organic compounds and then using the instruments to characterize them, as well as study their spectroscopic properties. By using both Spectronic 20's and a recording UV spectrophotometer, students are being given the opportunity to see the impact that instrumentation can make on a determination. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.
