Equipment for Workshop Laboratories in Analytical Chemistry

该项目正在购买实验室设备(高效液相色谱、GC-MS)和四台486 PC计算机，用于新的综合实验室序列的第一阶段。实验室实验围绕通过数据分析将数学概念与化学联系起来的主题进行组织，重点是使用现代分离和光谱方法分析天然产品。在课程中广泛使用MathCad，以及Vemier实验室界面，这是一个用户友好的计算机界面，用于实时收集和显示数据。实验室实验在工作坊环境中进行，学生在实验设计和数据分析中发挥更积极的作用。使用新设备的实验在课程结束时在一个为期五周的综合实验室项目中进行。该项目涉及姜根中一些活性成分的分离、纯化和高效液相色谱-质谱联用分析。

This project is purchasing laboratory equipment (HPLC, GC-MS) and four 486 PC computers for the first course of a new integrated laboratory sequence. Laboratory experiments are organized around themes that relate mathematical concepts to chemistry through data analysis and focus on the analysis of natural products with modern separation and spectroscopic methods. MathCad is used extensively in the course, as is the Vemier Lab Interface, a user-friendly computer interface for collecting and displaying data in real time. The laboratory experiments are conducted in a "workshop" environment, where students take a more active part in experimental design and data analysis. The experiments that utilize the new equipment take place in a five- week integrated laboratory project at the end of the course. The project involves the separation, purification, and analysis by HPLC and GC-MS of some of the active components of the ginger root.
