Hyphenated Gas Chromatography/Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry in Undergraduate Chemistry Laboratories

该项目介绍了改进的有机实验室实验，新的分析实验室项目，并通过使用联用气相色谱/傅里叶变换红外（GC/FTIR）光谱增强本科生的研究经验。当GC/FTIR取代这些技术的传统顺序应用时，传统的有机化学宏观和微观实验室项目可以从更短的分析时间，减少化学废物和更高的灵敏度中受益。正在为分析化学实验室开发新的实验室项目，这些实验室研究这一重要的联用技术的基础和应用方面。最后，正在进行的和计划中的研究项目，涉及本科生也受益于GC/FTIR的使用。 这个项目的实施可以产生一个有意义的增强学生的实验室经验。除了时间效率和浪费最小化的实际好处之外，使用这种现代化的计算机控制的分析系统为本科生提供了宝贵的培训，使他们更有资格进入化学劳动力或高级学习课程。

This project introduces improved organic laboratory experiments, new analytical laboratory projects, and enhanced undergraduate research experiences through the use of hyphenated gas chromatography/Fourier-transform infrared (GC/FTIR) spectrometry. Traditional macro- and micro-scale lab projects in organic chemistry can benefit from shorter analysis times, reduced chemical waste, and higher sensitivity when GC/FTIR replaces the traditional, sequential application of these techniques. New lab projects are being developed for analytical chemistry laboratories which examine both fundamental and applied aspects of this important hyphenated technique. Finally, ongoing and planned research projects involving undergraduate students also benefit from the use of GC/FTIR. The implementation of this project can yield a meaningful enhancement of the laboratory experiences for students. Beyond the practical benefits of time efficiency and waste minimization, the use of such a modern, computer-controlled analytical system provides valuable training to undergraduates, better qualifying them for entry into the chemical workforce or advanced study programs.
