High Performance Liquid Chromatography in the Undergraduate Curriculum

该项目提供了一个对化学和环境化学教学实验室至关重要的新的高效液相色谱仪系统，并取代了用于所有化学教学和研究实验室的已有12年历史的高效液相色谱仪系统。新仪器可用于从化学实验室入门到高级研究项目的所有课程级别。高效液相色谱系统是分离仪器分析课程的核心，在环境化学课程中起着重要的作用。它是教授水和土壤的痕量分析方法以及食品、化妆品和药品的分析以及蛋白质和有机反应产物的半制备规模分离的主要工具之一。掌握了这项基本的分析技术，大学就可以为本科生提供雇主和研究生院所期望的现代仪器方面的培训、背景和经验。*

This project provides a new high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) system that is crucial to the chemistry and environmental chemistry teaching laboratories and replaces a 12-year old HPLC used for all chemistry teaching and research laboratories. The new instrument can be used at all curricular levels from introductory chemistry laboratory to senior research projects. The HPLC system is the centerpiece of the separations instrumental analysis course and plays an important role in the environmental chemistry program. It is one of the principal tools used to teach trace analytical methods for water and soils, as well as the analysis of foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals and the semipreparative scale separations of proteins and organic reaction products. The acquisition of this essential analytical technique allows the university to provide undergraduates with the training, background, and experience in modern instrumentation that is expected by employers and graduate schools. *
