The Use of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry to Enhance the Undergraduate Laboratory Experience

马里兰州圣玛丽学院将购买一台惠普6890/5973型气相色谱仪/质谱仪，以改善对学生的普通化学、非专业化学、定量和仪器分析、有机化学和生物化学课程的实验室教学。这一工具还将有助于为完成八学分普通课程要求的研究项目的学生提供更多的资源，该研究项目被称为圣玛丽化学项目。该仪器还将用于本科生的研究。目前，该学院没有质谱学能力，而且由于我们位于偏远地区，最近的合作地点距离我们超过一个小时的车程。

St. Mary's College of Maryland will purchase a Hewlett Packard Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer, model 6890/5973, to improve laboratory instruction for students in general chemistry, nonmajors chemistry, quantitative and instrumental analysis, organic chemistry and biochemistry courses. This instrument would also serve to enhance the resources available to students fulfilling the eight credit general curriculum required research project, referred to as the St. Mary's Project in chemistry. The instrument will also be available for undergraduate research. At present the college has no mass spectral capabilities, and due to our rural location, the nearest possible site for collaboration is greater than an hour's drive away.
