Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry for Undergraduate Science and Engineering

该项目的目的是将原子吸收分光光度法（AA）纳入三州立大学的本科科学和工程课程。AA系统将被化学、生物和工程专业联合使用，以改进基于仪器的实验室教学，并为学生提供现代仪器所提供的实验能力。该设备将在几个相互关联的领域提供分析能力和培训：化学、化学工程、材料科学、冶金、生物和毒理学专业的学生将具有AA的相关经验，包括理论、仪器设计、操作和分析应用。2. 生物学专业的学生将使用AA提供的扩展功能来分析组织和环境样本中的重金属。3. 印第安纳州东北部湖区水质的学生项目和研究将扩大到包括微量元素分析，从而大大增加了所获得信息的范围。

The aim of this project is to incorporate atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AA) into undergraduate science and engineering curricula at Tri-State University. An AA system will be used jointly by chemistry, biology, and engineering programs to improve instrumentation- based laboratory instruction and to provide students with the experimental capabilities afforded by modern instrumentation. The equipment will provide analytical capability and training in several interrelated areas: 1. Students in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, metallurgy, biology, and toxicology will have experience with AA, including theory, instrumental design, operation, and analytical applications. 2. Biology students will use the extended capabilities provided by AA to analyze heavy metals in tissues and in environmental samples. 3. Student projects and research in water quality in the northeastern Indiana lakes region will be expanded to include trace element analysis, thus adding considerably to the scope of information obtained.
