Enhancing the Undergraduate Chemistry Experience with Gas Chromatography

毛细管气相色谱仪在许多课程中得到了广泛的应用。该仪器的使用使许多实验室对学生来说更具教育性和信息性，并使在有机化学、仪器分析、无机化学、物理科学和一些高级化学课程中引入一些新的实验成为可能。为了向非理科生介绍气相色谱仪这一使用最广泛的科学仪器之一，物理科学课程中增加了新的实验。一些本科研究小组也受益于毛细管气相色谱。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，作为他们利用阿姆斯特朗仪器分析实验室样品的项目的一部分。该仪器的另一个用途是阿姆斯特朗的社区外展计划，在该计划中，大量的高中和初中学生参观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. *
