MRI/RUI: Acquisition of GC/MS and Water Quality Monitor to Support the Integration of Research and Courses in Environmental/Analytical Chemistry into the Undergraduate Curriculum

在主要研究仪器(MRI)计划的支持下，安德森学院的Dorota Abramovitch和Thomas Kozel将获得一台带有质谱学检测的气相色谱仪，用于支持将环境/分析化学的研究和课程整合到本科课程中。安德森学院是一所本科院校。PIS将建立一个分析生物化学的研究努力，将有本科生参与，并强调环境和绿色化学。其中一个项目涉及监测当地小溪水生生态系统的化学、动植物。最终，他们计划对水、污泥和土壤进行有机污染物和重金属的分析。该仪器还将在一些课程中使用。

With support from the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program, Dorota Abramovitch and Thomas Kozel of Anderson College will acquire a gas chromatograph with mass spectrometric detection that will be used to support the integration of research and courses in environmental/analytical chemistry into the undergraduate curriculum. Anderson College is an undergraduate institution. The PIs will establish a research effort in analytical biochemistry that will involve undergraduates and emphasize environmental and green chemistry. One project involves monitoring the chemistry, flora and fauna of a local creek acquatic ecosystem. Eventually, they plan to carry out water, sludge and soil analyses for organic contaminants and heavy metals. The instrument will also be used in a number of courses.
