ICP Emission Spectroscopy as a Teaching Tool for Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Geology Laboratories at Colby College

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱（ICP-ES）已成为 广泛的元素分析方法的选择 化学、环境和地质样品。 宽动态 分析范围、分析速度和技术操作简便性 使ICP-ES成为一般元素分析的绝佳选择， 本科生 该项目建立了一个多学科的比较方案， ES设施，以加强化学已经强大的计划， 生态学、环境科学和地质学。 ICP-ES设备 为学生提供学习操作的机会 这一重要分析技术的原理，并应用 仪器对环境和实验室的分析能力 问题 受赠方为该项目提供资金， 与NSF奖项不相上下。

Inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-ES) has become the method of choice for elemental analysis of a wide range of chemical, environmental, and geological samples. The wide dynamic range, speed of analysis, and ease of operation of the technique makes ICP-ES an excellent choice for general elemental analysis by undergraduates. This project establishes a multidisciplinary ICP- ES facility to strengthen already strong programs in Chemistry, Ecology, Environmental Science, and Geology. The ICP-ES equipment provides students with an opportunity to learn the operating principles of this important analytical technique and to apply the instrument's analysis capability to environmental and laboratory problems. The grantee provides funds for this project that are an equal match for the NSF award.
