Enhancement and Extension of Chromatography and SpectroscopyModules in the Curriculum

本项目提供了一个现代化的、计算机控制的气相色谱/质谱GC/MS和相关的质谱库，用于大多数化学课程，通过增强和扩展系里的色谱和光谱学实验室的能力，改进化学教学。学生早在大一就有GC/MS的实践经验。GC/MS的使用被整合到9门课程的实验室中，学生使用GC分离和MS鉴定环境样品和学生合成产品中的成分，确定同位素比率，分析未知化合物的结构。该项目的一个独特之处在于，启动了一项计划，指导所有初级化学专业的学生学习气相色谱/质谱理论，并训练他们成为称职的气相色谱/质谱和其他计算机控制仪器的使用者。* * * y

9350660 Hanson Enhancement and Extension of Chromatography and Spectroscopy Modules in the Curriculum This project improves chemistry instruction by enhancing and extending the department's chromatography and spectroscopy laboratory capabilities by providing a modern, computer- controlled gas chromatography/mass spectrometer GC/MS and associated mass spectral library to be used in the majority of the chemistry courses. Students have hands-on experience with GC/MS as early as the freshman year. GC/MS use is integrated into the laboratories of 9 courses where GC separation and MS identification is used by students to identify components in environmental samples and student synthetic products, determine isotope ratios, and analyze the structure of unknown chemical compounds. A unique feature of this project is the initiation of a program to instruct all junior-level chemistry majors in GC/MS theory and train them to become competent users of this and other computer-controlled instruments. ***y
