The term "Appropriate Technology" was coined in 1973 by Fritz Schumacher in "Small is Beautiful: economics as if people matter". Appropriate Technology describes a way of providing for human needs with the least impact on the Earth's finite resources. Thus the term is often tied to terms such as sustainable development and Green chemistry. However, the term applies equally well to the analytical laboratory where we too face finite capital budgets and limited staffing. My research seeks to extend the capabilities of separation techniques such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ion chromatography (IC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) to a broader range of applications while maintaining flexibility and minimizing expense and complexity.

“适当的技术”一词是弗里茨·舒​​马赫 (Fritz Schumacher) 于 1973 年在《小即是美：经济学中认为人很重要》中创造的。 适当的技术描述了一种在满足人类需求的同时对地球有限资源影响最小的方法。 因此，该术语通常与可持续发展和绿色化学等术语联系在一起。 然而，这个术语同样适用于分析实验室，我们也面临着有限的资本预算和有限的人员配备。 我的研究旨在将高效液相色谱 (HPLC)、离子色谱 (IC) 和毛细管电泳 (CE) 等分离技术的功能扩展到更广泛的应用，同时保持灵活性并最大限度地降低费用和复杂性。
