The department of chemistry was without an adequately functioning U. V.-visible spectrophotometer and so basic but fundamentally important laboratory experiments could not be performed. The acquisition of a spectrophotometer with a computer work station increased the teaching effectiveness of the department's inorganic and biochemistry laboratory courses and at the same time, modernized the labs. The instrument is used to teach the relationship between U. V.-visible spectra and chemical processes. The computer is used in the acquisition and storage of data, and in fitting the data to various models. The instrument is extensively used in the biochemistry course where it is a powerful tool in the study of macromolecule. In fact, the instrument allowed development of a two semester biochemistry laboratory that emphasizes isolation and characterization of proteins and nucleic acids. The spectrophotometer also is used in undergraduate research projects. Student research is an important part of the chemistry curriculum at the institution and several research problems are being undertaken which could not be carried out previously. The institution is contributing to the project in an amount equal to the NSF funds.

化学系没有一个功能充分的紫外可见分光光度计，因此无法进行基本但至关重要的实验室实验。购置了一台带有计算机工作站的分光光度计，提高了系无机和生物化学实验课的教学效率，同时使实验室现代化。该仪器用于讲授紫外可见光谱与化学过程之间的关系。计算机被用来获取和存储数据，并将数据与各种模型进行拟合。该仪器在生物化学课程中得到了广泛的应用，是研究大分子的有力工具。事实上，该仪器允许开发一个为期两个学期的生化实验室，重点是蛋白质和核酸的分离和表征。该分光光度计也用于本科生的研究项目。学生研究是该机构化学课程的重要组成部分，正在进行几个以前无法进行的研究问题。该机构正在为该项目提供相当于NSF资金的捐款。
