RUI: A High Resolution GC/MS/FID for Undergraduate Research in Chemistry

根据化学研究仪器和设施（CRIF）项目的资助，巴纳德学院化学系将获得一台带有火焰电离检测器（GC/MS/FID）的气相色谱仪。该设备将加强若干领域的研究，包括a)实验室细菌和原生动物培养中污染物浓度和代谢物形成的研究；B)生物产生的有机物成分分析；C)二卤代烃与张力烯烃分子间反应产物分布分析；d) n -杂环碳烯的动力学研究。气相色谱仪与质谱检测（GCMS）是一种非常强大的技术，用于分离和分析复杂的混合物。该仪器将大大加强巴纳德学院在环境和有机化学方面的科学研究。

With this award from the Chemistry Research Instrumentation and Facilities (CRIF) Program, the Department of Chemistry at Barnard College will acquire a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer with flame ionization detector (GC/MS/FID). This equipment will enhance research in a number of areas including a) studies of contaminant concentrations and metabolite formation in laboratory bacterial and protozoan cultures; b) analysis of components of biologically-produced organic matter; c) analysis of product distributions of intermolecular reactions of dihalocarbenes with strained olefins; and d) kinetic studies of N-heterocyclic carbenes. Gas chromatograph with mass spectrometric detection (GCMS) is an extremely powerful technique used for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures. This instrument will substantially strengthen scientific research in environmental and organic chemistry at Barnard College.
