This project introduces into the chemistry curriculum at Hamline                University a benchtop GC/MS complete with computer operating system and         software.  The use and applications of this instrument are introduced           into the curriculum at several levels, affecting a wide range of science        students.  The GC/MS is utilized in six undergraduate laboratories and          undergraduate research. Specific course improvements include the                enhancement of traditional qualitative organic analysis, the computer-          controlled acquisition and processing of data, applications of the              technique of thermolysis to the characterization of polymers and                polymerization kinetics, analysis of hazardous waste and environmental          samples, and the characterization of synthesized compounds in the               advanced inorganic and organic laboratories.
