Use of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy to Enhance the Chemistry Curriculum

化学系正在购置一套毛细管气相色谱-质谱联用系统、相关的计算机设备和一个图书馆数据库。该系统使化学专业和非化学专业的学生都能熟悉计算机集成仪器、数据分析和数据库检索的使用。从大二到大四的学生在有机化学、无机化学、仪器分析等课程中，以及在密集的环境化学研究所和各种本科生研究项目中，都使用该仪器进行实验。

The Department of Chemistry is acquiring a capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometer system, associated computer equipment, and a library database. The system is allowing both chemistry majors and nonmajors to become familiar with the use of computer integrated instrumentation, data analysis, and database searching. Students at the sophomore through senior levels are carrying out experiments using the instrument in courses including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and instrumental analysis, as well as in an intensive Environmental Chemistry Institute and in a variety of undergraduate research projects.
