Enhancing the Undergraduate Chemistry Experience with Gas Chromatography

毛细管气相色谱仪(GC)在许多课程中被广泛使用。该仪器的使用使许多实验室为学生提供了更多的教育和信息，并使在有机化学、仪器分析、无机化学、物理科学和几门高级化学课程中引入一些新的实验成为可能。物理科学课程正在增加新的实验，以努力向非理科专业的学生介绍气相色谱仪，这是使用最广泛的科学设备之一。几个本科生研究小组也受益于有可用的毛细管GC。附近的佐治亚海岸社区学院的学生也使用毛细管气相色谱作为项目的一部分，在该项目中，他们利用阿姆斯特朗的仪器分析他们的实验室样本。该仪器的另一个用途是阿姆斯特朗的社区外联计划，在该计划中，大量高中生和中学生访问阿姆斯特朗并进行实验室实验。*

A capillary gas chromatograph (GC) is being widely used in a number of courses. The use of this instrument is allowing a number of the laboratories to be more educational and informative for the students, and is making it possible to introduce a number of new experiments into organic chemistry, instrumental analysis, inorganic chemistry, physical science, and several upper-level chemistry courses. New experiments are being added to the physical science courses in an effort to introduce the non-science major to the gas chromatograph, one of the most widely used pieces of scientific equipment. Several of the undergraduate research groups also are benefiting from having a capillary GC available. The capillary GC also is used by nearby Coastal Georgia Community College's students as part of a program in which they make use of the instrumentation at Armstrong for analyzing their laboratory samples. An additional use of the instrument is in Armstrong's Community Outreach Program in which a large number of high school and middle school students visit Armstrong and carry out laboratory experiments. *
