RUI: Purchase of a Mass Spectrometer

在化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）计划的支持下，Point Loma Nazarene College的化学系将获得一台气相色谱-质谱仪。该设备将加强大学生在许多领域的研究，包括腐殖酸在甲醇中的模型化合物的卤化;卤素体系与全氟烯烃全氟二烯的亲电反应与自由基反应。使用气相色谱-质谱（GC-MS）提供复杂混合物的分离和鉴定是任何大学生研究计划的重要组成部分。 GC-MS是一种用于探测紧密结构细节并获得大量有机、生物有机和有机金属分子的分子组成的技术。 这些研究将促进我们对处理过的沃茨中卤代化合物产生过程的理解，这对环境化学以及毒理学和人类健康领域都很重要。

With support from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Point Loma Nazarene College will acquire a Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer. This equipment will enhance undergraduate research in a number of areas, including halogenation of model compounds of the humic acids in methanol; and electrophilic versus radical reactions of halogen systems with perfluoroalkenes & perfluorodienes.The use of Gas Chromatograph-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to provide the separation and identification of complex mixtures is a valuable part of any undergraduate research program. GC-MS is a technique used to probe intimate structural details and to obtain the molecular compositions of a vast array of organic, bioorganic, and organometallic molecules. These studies will advance our understanding of the processes resulting in halogenated compounds in treated waters, which is important to environmental chemistry and also to the toxicology and human health areas.
