The quality of scientific training offered to students is being improved with the purchase of a high pressure liquid chromatography instrument for use in five laboratory courses. This is allowing the department to include as a part of the students' scientific training the principles and practice of HPLC - the most versatile method for separating and quantitating the variety of complex mixtures which chemists encounter. Introduction of the HPLC into the Chemistry Department's laboratory curriculum is enabling students to work with a wider range of mixtures - especially those containing non-volatile solids or thermally sensitive compounds - than was previously possible with the departmental instrumentation. For instance, the students are doing experiments involving the separation and quantitation of proteins in a mixture or determining the lipid composition of a cellular membrane. Including these new experiments in the laboratory program of the department is significant because it is enhancing the ability of the science students to investigate chemical systems and solve chemical problems. The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.

通过购买用于五门实验室课程的高压液相色谱仪，为学生提供的科学培训质量得到提高。 这使得该系能够将 HPLC 的原理和实践作为学生科学培训的一部分——高效液相色谱法是化学家遇到的各种复杂混合物的分离和定量的最通用的方法。 将 HPLC 引入化学系的实验室课程，使学生能够处理比以前使用系仪器更广泛的混合物，尤其是含有非挥发性固体或热敏化合物的混合物。 例如，学生们正在做涉及混合物中蛋白质的分离和定量或确定细胞膜的脂质组成的实验。 将这些新实验纳入该系的实验室计划具有重要意义，因为它增强了理科学生研究化学系统和解决化学问题的能力。 受资助者正在匹配非联邦来源的奖励。
