Mass Spectrometry at Middlebury

连接气相色谱仪的质谱仪是用来向明德学院的本科生介绍现代分析化学的一个重要领域。该仪器在已经建立的有机化学课程、高级有机化学课程以及最近引入的综合分析、物理和无机化学实验课程中被大量使用。学生在毕业论文中有机会广泛地使用该仪器，从而获得与他们在工业或研究生院遇到的类似的现代仪器的经验。该机构正以等额的资金配合国家科学基金的拨款。

The Mass spectrometer interfaced to a gas chromatograph is used to introduce Middlebury College undergraduate students to an important area of modern analytical chemistry. The instrument sees heavy use in already established courses in organic chemistry, advanced organic chemistry, and the recently introduced integrated analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry laboratory course. Students in the senior thesis have the opportunity to utilize this instrument extensively, and thus gain experience with modern instrumentation similar to that which they will encounter in industry or graduate school. The institution is matching the NSF grant with an equal amount of funds.
