An Automated Polarimeter for Undergraduate Instruction

化学系正在购买一台自动旋光仪，用于几门高级课程。学生们正在使用该仪器研究双糖水解和旋光过渡金属络合物外消旋的动力学。高级有机化学实验室正在研究各种合成试剂的立体选择性。本科生也在使用它进行独立研究。

The Chemistry department is purchasing an automated polarimeter for use in several upper division courses. Students are using the instrument to study the kinetics of disaccharide hydrolysis and of the racemization of optically active transition metal complexes. Stereoselectivity of various synthetic reageants are being investigated in the advanced organic chemistry laboratory. It is also being used by undergraduate students conducting independent research.
