Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry for the Undergraduate Laboratory

化学系正在购买一套气相色谱仪/质谱仪系统，用于从非理科生的一般入门课程到化学专业的高级研究项目。此外，有机化学专业的学生正在研究质谱仪中发生的重排反应，以使用该仪器进行反应产物表征。分析化学专业的学生正在研究雨中挥发性有机物的存在和特性。该仪器对本科生的研究计划产生了重大影响。

The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer system for use across the curriculum from general introductory courses for non-science majors to chemistry majors' senior research projects. In addition, to using the instrument for reaction product characterization, students in organic chemistry are studying rearrangement reactions occuring in the mass spectrometer. Analytical chemistry students are investigating the presence and identity of volatile organics in rain. The instrument is having a significant impact on the undergraduate research program.
