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

质谱的理论和实践是现代化学家关于有机和无机物质的原子和分子结构的培训的重要组成部分。一个气相色谱/质谱/数据系统的收购允许化学系，以提高其课程的理论和实践的质谱，并在同一时间，给年轻的本科生科学家动手的经验与最强大的分析方法之一，快速分离复杂的混合物中遇到的真实的世界。使用该系统的实验已经设计并用于荣誉普通化学，分析方法，有机和高级有机化学，以及研究和荣誉研究计划。该机构为该项目提供了相当于NSF资金的资金。

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.
