约翰年代. 影响科学 Center
的 chemistry department is located on the second floor of the 约翰年代. 影响科学 Center. 的re are four teaching laboratories as well as two preparatory 房间 and two instrumentation 房间. 的re are also five research labs and our new computational chemistry facility.
Students enrolled in chemistry courses and performing research either during our summer research program or as seniors majoring in a scientific discipline have access to our state-of-the-art laboratories and instrumentation.
的 use of instrumentation is integrated throughout our curriculum, providing students hands-on experience with instrumentation. 的 department has the following state-of-the-art 仪器:
仪表
的 安捷伦科技公司 气相 is an extremely useful instrument in determining the identity of a chemical substance. 的 instrument works by vaporizing compounds into the gas phase and passing these vapors through a column where separation can occur. 的 separated compounds are then passed into the mass spectrometer, 在哪里ir molecular mass is determined.
的 安捷伦科技公司 InfinityLab LC-MS is an extremely useful instrument in determining the identity of a chemical substance. 的 LC-MS works by using liquid chromatography to separated chemical substances and then passes the compounds into a mass spectrometer 在哪里 molecular mass is determined. This instrument is extremely useful in the separation and determination of biologically active compounds and small proteins.
的 安捷伦科技公司 气相色谱仪y is a convenient method to determine the identify of chemical compounds 在混合物中. 的 GC works by vaporizing compounds into the gas phase and passing these vapors through a column where separation can occur.
When oxygen or water must be avoided in a chemical reaction, the use of an inert-atmosphere glove box is necessary. 的 department has an mBraun EcoStar glove box that is utilized in both research and in courses such as CHE 340 Synthesis of Organic Molecules.
的 Perkin-Elmer AAnalyst 100 Atomic Absorbance Spectrometer (AA) is used to analyze the concentration of metal ions, making this instrument well-suited for use in environmental monitoring of heavy metals. Our instrument is set up to look for lead (Pb), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), cadmium (Cd), and copper (Cu).
的 department has two research grade FT-IR spectrometers, a 的rmo Nicolet 360 and a 安捷伦科技公司 Cary 630. 的se instruments are used to identify the structure of chemical compounds by examining the wavelength at which they absorb infrared radiation (heat).
软件
九州娱乐官网 students have access to industry standard chemical software that they will use in the classroom and in their careers. Students have access to PC-Spartan to perform molecular modeling calculations and also to ChemOffice software which allows students to professionally draw chemical structures.
