Upgrade of Analytical and Organic Instrumentation in Chemistry at DeKalb College

Dekalb正在使用红外光谱仪和液相色谱仪(LC)升级分析、有机和健康科学化学课程。LC与各种经典的WERT方法结合使用，以加强分析化学课程。有机化学课程通过IR和LC的使用得到加强。实验包括分析环己醇转化为环己烯和水杨酸转化为阿司匹林和水杨酸甲酯的产物。将LC和IR相结合用于分离和分离不同片剂中的化合物，如埃克西德林。该机构正在将NSF的拨款与同等数额的资金相匹配。

An infrared spectrometer and liquid chromatographs (LC) are being used to upgrade analytical, organic and health science chemistry courses at Dekalb. The LC is used in conjunction with a variety of classical wert methods to strengthen the analytic chemistry course. The Organic chemistry course is strengthened by the use of the IR as well as the LC. Experiments include analysis of the products of the conversion of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene and the conversion of salicycilic acid to aspirin and methyl salicylate. The LC and IR are combined in the separation and isolation of the compounds in various tablets such as Excedrin. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
