GC-MS in Undergraduate Organic and Analytical Teaching Laboratories

实验室实验设计的创造性需要使用适当的技术来分析结果。当学生被赋予设计实验以解释现象的责任时，对先进仪器的需求就更大了。该项目将GC-MS引入有机教学实验室。该仪器增强了分析化学课程中使用的仪器分析能力。GC/MS，以及用于方法开发的带有毛细管柱和FID检测器的GC，使有机化学学生在研究竞争反应和平衡环境时，在实验设计中具有更大的创造力。分析化学专业的学生可以掌握这一重要仪器的实际应用知识。该仪器也可用于本科生的研究。该项目旨在加强对女科学家的教育，鼓励她们进行进一步的科学研究。如果鼓励学生参与设计他们的实验，就会促进更多的智力参与和更大的意愿采用实验方法来解决问题。这些过程产生的热情和智力增长导致了更好的学生的产生，并对他们追求研究生学习和科学职业的决定产生了积极的影响。

Creativity in the design of laboratory experiments requires access to appropriate techniques for the analysis of the results. When students are given responsibility for the design of experiments to explain phenomena, the need for advanced instrumentation is even greater. This project incorporates a GC-MS into the organic teaching laboratories. This instrument enhances the instrumental analytical capabilities for use in the Analytical Chemistry courses. A GC/MS, and a GC with a capillary column and an FID detector for method development, allows Organic Chemistry students greater creativity in their experimental design as they investigate competitive reactions and equilibrium environments. Analytical Chemistry students can gain a strong working knowledge of this essential instrumentation. The instrumentation can also be used for undergraduate student research. This project serves to enhance the education of women scientists and encourage them to pursue further scientific studies. If student participation is encouraged in the design of their experiments, a greater intellectual involvement and a greater willingness to adopt experimental methodologies to solve problems are promoted. The enthusiasm and intellectual growth engendered by these processes results in the production of better students and positively influences their decisions to pursue graduate study and scientific careers.
