Introduction of Capillary Electrophoresis with Photo Diode Array Detection into the Analytical, Biochemistry, and Undergraduate Research Laboratories

毛细管电泳作为一种分析工具在化学和相关领域的许多领域中变得越来越重要。一些学院和大学已经开始将毛细管电泳方法引入他们的本科课程，但是仍然只有一份关于毛细管电泳用于本科教育的公开报道。 该项目开始了仪器设施现代化的进程，购买了一个毛细管电泳系统，配有光电二极管阵列检测器和数据采集和分析工作站。通过使用这种仪器，学生可以接触到化学和仪器分析以前缺乏部门的几个领域。正在为一个仪器方法实验室和一个生物化学实验室制定实验室练习。毛细管电泳系统也提供给从事化学和相关学科研究的本科生。

Capillary electrophoresis is becoming increasingly important as an analytical tool in many areas of chemistry and related fields. Several colleges and universities have begun to introduce capillary electrophoretic methods into their undergraduate programs, but there remains only one published report of the use of capillary electrophoresis for undergraduate education. The project begins the process of modernizing the instrumental facilities with the purchase of a capillary electrophoresis system with photo diode array detector and workstation for data acquisition and analysis. Through the use of this instrument, students can be exposed to several areas of chemistry and instrumental analysis previously lacking in the department. Laboratory exercises are being developed for an instrumental methods laboratory and a biochemistry laboratory. The capillary electrophoresis system is also made accessible to undergraduates conducting research in chemistry and related disciplines.
