Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in the Undergraduate Chemistry Curriculum

化学系正在购买一个台式气相色谱-质谱计系统，供学生在几个高级本科化学课程和有机、分析、无机和生物化学本科研究中使用。生物化学专业的学生正在用这个仪器来鉴定多肽的氨基酸组成。该仪器还被用于分析空气质量，反应产物的表征和有机结构的测定。

The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a benchtop gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer system for use by students in several advanced undergraduate chemistry courses and in Organic, Analytical, Inorganic and Biochemistry undergraduate research. Biochemistry students are using the instrument to identify the amino acid compostion of polypeptides. the instrument is also being used to analyze air quality, characterization of reaction products, and organic structure determination.
