GC-FTIR in the Undergraduate Laboratory: Phase 3 (Comple- tion of the Plan)

该项目的目标是改善化学 程序通过利用气相色谱仪傅立叶 变换红外光谱仪系统。 联用技术 例如GC-FTIR通常用于研究生院， 工业;化学系提供了一个例子， 为他们的学生配备设备， 实践经验的机会。 学校的老师们 几年前制定的三阶段计划中的任务： 购买FTIR，随后购买GC，随后 通过两个设备的接口连接。 虽然 GC和FTIR联用，通过计算机控制 可摆动的镜子，它们可以独立使用。 该组合系统允许调查复杂的 混合物，否则将难以或不可能 在本科阶段进行。 GC-FTIR还提供了 新成立的微电子技术， 有机化学课程 最直接受影响的课程 GC-FTIR的收购是两个学期的有机 化学序列，高等有机化学，仪器 分析和高级研究。 该机构为该项目提供了相当于 NSF基金

The goal of this project is the improvement of the chemistry program through the utilization of a gas chromatograph-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer system. Hyphenated techniques such as the GC-FTIR are commonly used in graduate school and industry; the chemistry department is providing an example of coupled equipment for their students as well as giving them the opportunity for hands on experience. The faculty have approached the task in a three-phase plan developed a few years back: the purchase of the FTIR, the subsequent purchase of the GC, followed by the interfacing of the two pieces of equipment. Although the GC and FTIR are coupled, through the use of computer controlled swing-away mirror, they can be used independently. The combined system is allowing the investigation of complex mixtures that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to undertake at the undergraduate level. The GC-FTIR also lends itself readily to the techniques of the newly-established micro- organic chemistry program. The courses most directly affected by the acquisition of the GC-FTIR are the two-semester Organic Chemistry sequence, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis, and Senior Research. The institution contributed to this project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
