Improving Chemistry Instruction with Mass Spectrometry

学生们正在获得气相色谱-质谱仪的实际操作经验，这是测定分子结构最重要的工具之一。该仪器被纳入有机化学实验室和我们的高级实验室，为所有高年级专业提供服务。我们也会在第二学期向一年级化学学生介绍这种技术。以前由学生进行的有机实验得到了加强，课程中加入了更现代、更丰富的实验。该仪器还对学生的研究产生了重大影响，允许进行更有趣和复杂的项目。＊＊＊

9351832 McClenon Students are gaining hands-on experience on a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer, one of the most important tools used in the determination of the structure of molecules. The instrument is being incorporated into the organic chemistry laboratory and into our advanced laboratory which serves all upperclass majors. We also are introducing freshmen chemistry students to the technique in the second semester. Organic experiments previously performed by students have been enhanced and more modern and richer experiments are being added to the curriculum. The instrument also is having a major impact on student research by allowing more interesting and sophisticated projects to be undertaken. ***
