ICP Emission Spectroscopy as a Teaching Tool for Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Geology Laboratories at Colby College

电感耦合等离子体发射光谱（ICP-ES）已成为化学、环境和地质样品元素分析的首选方法。ICP-ES具有动态范围宽、分析速度快、易于操作等特点，是大学生进行一般元素分析的理想选择。该项目建立了一个多学科的ICP- ES设施，以加强已经很强的化学、生态学、环境科学和地质学专业。ICP-ES设备为学生提供了学习这一重要分析技术的工作原理的机会，并将仪器的分析能力应用于环境和实验室问题。受资助者为该项目提供与NSF奖金相等的资金。

Inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-ES) has become the method of choice for elemental analysis of a wide range of chemical, environmental, and geological samples. The wide dynamic range, speed of analysis, and ease of operation of the technique makes ICP-ES an excellent choice for general elemental analysis by undergraduates. This project establishes a multidisciplinary ICP- ES facility to strengthen already strong programs in Chemistry, Ecology, Environmental Science, and Geology. The ICP-ES equipment provides students with an opportunity to learn the operating principles of this important analytical technique and to apply the instrument's analysis capability to environmental and laboratory problems. The grantee provides funds for this project that are an equal match for the NSF award.
