Introduction of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to Undergraduate Students

该大学将购买一台电感耦合等离子体（ICP）分光光度计，将其纳入其本科专业的分析仪器化学组成部分，该专业涵盖化学、水生毒理学/化学、生物学、微生物学和医学技术等学科。将ICP纳入课程将提高他们向学生讲授分析化学中现代仪器的理论、操作和应用的能力。ICP是一种相对较新的技术，目前在工业和政府中普遍用于分析金属离子；然而，ICP的原理、操作和应用通常不会在本科大学教授。这所大学已经形成了一种长期的理念，即实验室的“动手”训练是年轻科学家教育的基石。ICP将被纳入三个正式课程：仪器分析、水分析标准方法和水生毒理学。此外，许多学生将通过ICP获得高级经验，作为他们本科研究的一部分。

9352152 Taylor The university will purchase an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) Spectrophotometer for incorporation into the analytical instrumental chemistry components of their undergraduate programs, which traverse the disciplines of chemistry, aquatic toxicology/chemistry, biology, microbiology and medical technology. The incorporation of ICP into the curricula will enhance their ability to educate students about the theory, operation and applications of modern instrumentation in analytical chemistry. ICP is a relatively new technology that is now commonly used in industry and government for the analysis of metal ions; however, the principles, operation, and applications of ICP are not commonly taught at undergraduate universities. The university has developed a long-standing philosophy that "hands-on" training in the laboratory is the cornerstone in the education of young scientists. ICP will be incorporated into three formal classes: Instrumental Analysis, Standard Methods of Water Analysis, and Aquatic Toxicology. In addition, many students will gain advanced experience with the ICP as part of their undergraduate research.
