Chemistry (12) Hood College, a liberal arts college focusing on the education of women, is introducing capillary electrophoresis (CE) technology into General Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Biological Chemistry courses. The CE applications are being adapted and implemented from the research and educational literature, targeting these applications toward a different audience, our women students. Since the concepts underlying separation techniques are fundamental to research in many areas of science and since capillary electrophoresis is rapidly becoming the separation tool of choice in many modern laboratories, it is important for students to become knowledgeable with this technology. We are incorporating CE separation of caffeine in beverages into our General Chemistry courses and some of these students are using CE separations for their end-of-the-year project. In Analytical Chemistry, students are gaining an understanding of separation parameters through the application of CE technology in the investigation of "real world" problems such as water pollution. In Biological Chemistry, CE is being used to investigate amino acid charge/pH relationships, to sequence a dipeptide, to separate DNA restriction fragments, and to investigate parameters important in protein separations.

化学（12）胡德学院是一所以女性教育为重点的文科学院，正在将毛细管电泳（CE）技术引入普通化学、分析化学和生物化学课程。目前正在根据研究和教育文献改编和实施竞争性教育应用程序，这些应用程序针对不同的受众，即我们的女学生。由于分离技术的基本概念是许多科学领域研究的基础，并且由于毛细管电泳正在迅速成为许多现代实验室的首选分离工具，因此学生了解这项技术非常重要。我们正在将饮料中咖啡因的CE分离纳入我们的普通化学课程，其中一些学生正在使用CE分离进行年终项目。在分析化学中，学生通过CE技术在水污染等“真实的世界”问题调查中的应用，了解分离参数。在生物化学中，CE被用于研究氨基酸电荷/pH关系，测序二肽，分离DNA限制性片段，并研究蛋白质分离中的重要参数。
