Consistent with the increasing instrumental emphasis in chemistry, Mississippi College is introducing a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) into its chemistry curriculum. Use and application of this instrument affects all students in organic and analytical chemistry, and instrumental analysis, and strengthen our undergraduate research program. The GC-MS uses a benchtop system, computer accessed and controlled, and allows identification of complex mixtures, data storage, and comparisons searching within a large library of data. Student experience with GC-MS compliments present powerful analytical methods thus better preparing them for graduate and professional schools or industry. Specific course improvements include increasing the instrumental emphasis in qualitative organic analysis of natural materials, products of chemical reactions, environmental contaminants and drugs. Theory of mass spectrometry is supported by experiments and in advanced classes the importance of integrating separation science and mass spectroscopy with computer assistance is experienced. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.

随着对化学仪器的日益重视，密西西比学院在其化学课程中引入了一种气相色谱-质谱仪(GC-MS)。该仪器的使用和应用影响了有机化学、分析化学和仪器分析的所有学生，并加强了我们的本科生研究计划。GC-MS使用台式系统，计算机可访问和控制，并允许在大型数据库中识别复杂混合物、数据存储和比较搜索。学生使用GC-MS的经验提供了强大的分析方法，从而更好地为他们进入研究生院和专业学校或行业做好准备。具体的课程改进包括加强对天然材料、化学反应产物、环境污染物和药物的定性有机分析的仪器重视。质谱学的理论得到了实验的支持，在高级课程中，人们体会到了将分离科学和质谱学与计算机辅助相结合的重要性。该机构正在将NSF的拨款与同等数额的资金相匹配。
