Improvement in Chemistry Instruction through Applications ofGas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy

该项目改进了化学课程， Macalester学院通过增加一个 GC/MS的教学部分。近年来， 技术已经成为分析和构造标准方法 测定-一个广泛应用于研究生院和工业 laboratories. 一些使用它们的具体实验是 这是由大量学生进行的。 先进 高级研究提供GC/MS培训 （仪器分析）课程。 此外，该设备还 用于工业废物和生物液体的分析。 该设备还用于研究课程和教师- 学生研究项目。 该设备和相关的 课程创新有助于确保Macalester化学 学生们完全有资格运用这种强大的技术， 他们的科学生涯。 该机构正在匹配NSF 给予同等数额的资金。

This project improves the curriculum of the Chemistry Department of Macalester College through the addition of an instructional component on GC/MS. Within recent years this technique has become a standard method for analysis and structure determination-one widely used in graduate school and industrial laboratories. A number of specific experiments using they are carried out by a substantial number of students. Advanced training in GC/MS are provided in the Senior Studies (instrumental analysis) course. In addition, the equipment is used in the analysis of industrial wastes and biological fluids. The equipment is also employed in research courses and faculty- student research projects. This equipment and the associated curricular innovations help insure that the Macalester Chemistry students are fully qualified to employ the powerful technique in their scientific careers. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
