Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry for the Undergraduate Laboratory

化学系正在采购一种气体 色谱/质谱仪系统， 非理科普通入门课程的课程 化学专业学生的高级研究项目。 在 此外，对于使用反应产物的仪器 表征，有机化学的学生正在研究 质谱仪中发生的重排反应。 分析化学专业的学生正在调查 和雨水中挥发性有机物的鉴别。 仪器 对本科生的研究产生了重大影响 程序.

The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer system for use across the curriculum from general introductory courses for non-science majors to chemistry majors' senior research projects. In addition, to using the instrument for reaction product characterization, students in organic chemistry are studying rearrangement reactions occuring in the mass spectrometer. Analytical chemistry students are investigating the presence and identity of volatile organics in rain. The instrument is having a significant impact on the undergraduate research program.
