High Performance Liquid Chromatography in the Undergraduate Curriculum

该项目为化学和环境化学教学实验室提供了一套新的高效液相色谱仪（HPLC）系统，取代了所有化学教学和研究实验室使用了12年的高效液相色谱仪。新仪器可用于从入门化学实验室到高级研究项目的所有课程水平。高效液相色谱系统是分离仪器分析课程的核心，在环境化学专业中起着重要的作用。它是用于教授水和土壤痕量分析方法的主要工具之一，以及食品，化妆品和药品的分析以及蛋白质和有机反应产物的半制备级分离。掌握了这种基本的分析技术，大学就可以为本科生提供雇主和研究生院所期望的现代仪器方面的培训、背景和经验。＊

This project provides a new high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) system that is crucial to the chemistry and environmental chemistry teaching laboratories and replaces a 12-year old HPLC used for all chemistry teaching and research laboratories. The new instrument can be used at all curricular levels from introductory chemistry laboratory to senior research projects. The HPLC system is the centerpiece of the separations instrumental analysis course and plays an important role in the environmental chemistry program. It is one of the principal tools used to teach trace analytical methods for water and soils, as well as the analysis of foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals and the semipreparative scale separations of proteins and organic reaction products. The acquisition of this essential analytical technique allows the university to provide undergraduates with the training, background, and experience in modern instrumentation that is expected by employers and graduate schools. *
