Gas Chromatographic/Mass Spectrometry/Data System Instrumentation for Undergraduate Instruction

质谱法的理论和实践是现代化学家对有机和无机物的原子和分子结构进行培训的重要组成部分。气相色谱/质谱/数据系统的获得使化学系能够改进其在质谱理论和实践方面的课程，同时，为年轻的本科生科学家提供了在现实世界中遇到的最强大的分析方法之一快速分离复杂混合物的实践经验。使用该系统的实验已被设计用于荣誉普通化学，分析方法，有机和高级有机化学，以及研究和荣誉研究项目。该机构为该项目提供的资金相当于国家科学基金会的资金。

The theory and practice of mass spectrometry is an important component in the training of modern chemists about the atomic and molecular structure of organic and inorganic substances. The acquisition of a gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric/data system allowed the chemistry department to improve its curriculum in the theory and practice of mass spectrometry and, at the same time, gave young, undergraduate student scientists hands-on experience with one of the most powerful analytical methods for the rapid separation of complex mixtures encountered in the real world. Experiments using the system have been designed for and are used in Honors General Chemistry, Analytical Methods, Organic and Advanced Organic Chemistry, and the Research and Honors Research programs. The institution contributed to this project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
