Acquisition of FT-NMR Instrumentation for Organic Laboratory

化学系正在进行一项使其学术实验室能力现代化的战略计划的第六个年头。最近的现代化包括将有机实验室转变为微型实验室。该计划最具局限性的缺陷是缺乏具有碳13能力的核磁共振仪器。该项目允许获得核磁共振，该核磁共振a)促进了学生在第二学期微型有机化学中的动手体验，b)允许创建高级微型有机实验室计划，c)促进了在该计划中使用的新的微型有机化学实验的开发，以及d)改进初级生物化学和仪器分析实验室。该机构正在为这个项目提供相当于NSF资金的捐款。

The Department of Chemistry is in its sixth year of a strategic plan to modernize its academic laboratory capabilities. Recent modernization includes conversion of the organic laboratories to the microscale. The most limiting deficiency in the program had been the lack of NMR instrumentation with carbon 13 capabilities. This project allowed for the acquisition of a NMR that has a) facilitated student hands-on experiences in the second- semester microscale organic chemistry, b) allowed the creation of an advanced-level microscale organic laboratory program, c) facilitated the development of new microscale organic chemistry experiments which are utilized in the program, and d) improved junior-level biochemistry and instrumental analysis laboratory offerings. The institution is contributing to this project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
