Improved Laboratory Instruction in Analytical Techiques and Research for Undergraduate Chemistry/Biochemistry Majors

该项目将在栗子山学院为本科生开设的生物化学、有机化学和仪器分析实验室课程和研究项目中引入高效液相色谱法。化学和生物化学专业将使用梯度高效液相系统来研究色谱分离中的参数；分离和分析天然产物、药物和学生合成的各种有机化合物；以及从事更多样化的研究项目。使用这项重要的现代技术将大大拓宽学生的实验室经验，并将帮助栗子山学院继续为女性在化学和生物化学领域的职业生涯做准备。

This project will introduce high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) into biochemistry, organic chemistry, and instrumental analysis laboratory courses and research projects for undergraduate students at Chestnut Hill College. Chemistry and biochemistry majors will use a gradient HPLC system to study parameters in chromatographic separations; to separate and analyze natural products, pharmaceuticals, and various organic compounds which the students synthesize; and to pursue more varied research projects. Working with this important modern technique will broaden substantially the students' laboratory experience, and will help Chestnut Hill College continue to prepare women for careers in chemistry and biochemistry.
