Use of Controlled Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry in Laboratory Experiences for Undergraduate Science and Non-Science Majors As Well As Advanced High School Students

化学和生物本科生以及高中生的独特和多样化的实验室体验涉及到集成气相色谱仪/质谱仪系统的能力。该系统以ChemStation计算机软件为特色，用于协调台式惠普HP5890A GC/HP5917A质量选择检测器系统中的化合物分析。无论是专业还是非专业的班级都在使用这种仪器。新仪器对以下领域产生了很大的影响：(1)生物和化学专业的有机化学课程，(2)化学专业和辅修的分析仪器化学课程，(3)非理科专业的化学课程，重点是法医学或环境科学，以及(4)面向有天赋的高中生的法医项目，为期两周的住宿体验。该机构为该项目提供了相当于NSF资金的捐款。

Distinct and diverse laboratory experiences for undergraduate chemistry and biology students, as well as advanced high school students, are involving the capabilities of an integrated gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer system. The system features ChemStation computer software to coordinate analyses of compounds in the benchtop Hewlett-Packard HP5890A GC/Hewlett Packard HP5917A Mass Selective Detector system. Classes for both majors and non-majors are using the instrumentation. The following areas have been greatly impacted by the new instrumentation: (1) organic chemistry courses for biology and chemistry majors, (2) the analytical instrumental chemistry course for chemistry majors and minors, (3) chemistry courses for non-science majors with emphases in either forensic science or environmental science, and (4) the Forensic Science Project for talented high school students, a two-week residential experience. The institution has contributed to the project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.
