Capillary Electrophoresis in Undergraduate Chemistry

9351000 Gutnikov为了保持我们本科分析化学课程的实力和影响力，我们正在将毛细管电泳（CE）的实践工作纳入课程。这使我们的学生能够熟练掌握这项新开发的技术。在分离方法课程中进行的实验经过精心设计，通过展示其在液相色谱法失败的地方的实用性，来说明CE与HPLC的互补性质。自动化单元使学生能够意识到使用最先进的仪器可以实现的工作量大大增加。学生们也被迫修改他们关于实验计划和设计的观念，以便充分利用计算机控制仪器的生产能力。我们正在进行的研究项目和强制性高级项目的目标正在通过CE仪器更快地实现。＊＊＊

9351000 Gutnikov In order to maintain the strength and currency of our undergraduate analytical chemistry program, we are incorporating into our curriculum practical work based on capillary electrophoresis (CE). This is enabling our students to gain proficiency in this recently developed technique. The experiment which is being carried out in the Separations Methods course has been carefully designed to illustrate the complementary nature of CE to HPLC by demonstrating its utility where liquid chromatography fails. An automated unit is permitting students to develop awareness of the greatly increased workload achievable with a state-of-the-art instrument. Students also are being compelled to revise their notions concerning the planning and design of experiments in order to fully exploit the productive capacity of a computer- controlled instrument. The objectives in our ongoing research programs and mandatory senior projects are being realized much more expeditiously with the CE instrument. ***
