Nicholas Griffin; Marshall Ritchie; Tyler Lynn; Kate Dear; Tyler Christian John Deutsch; Leigha Dillard; Kenneth Overway; Barnabas Otoo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Owing to the critical role of stereochemistry in biotechnology, medicine, and industry, it must be well represented in undergraduate lab curricula. To achieve these stereochemical laboratory requirements without sacrificing existing lab techniques, we modified two standard laboratory experiments to include chiral GC analysis as follows. (1) The…

Bo Ding; Ju Wang; Yaxin Mao; Tian Meng; Yumei Luo; Xiaomei Xu; Zhanqing Lv; Mian Zhou; Qiuying Yang – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Fluorescence-related experimental techniques play an important role in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology. However, fluorescence-related experiments are rarely included in the laboratory courses of most Chinese universities. This is mainly due to the conflict between large class size (50-60 students in one room) and funding/space…

Max Chen; Yichen Li; Hilson Shrestha; Noe¨lle Rakotondravony; Andrew Teixeira; Lane Harrison; Robert E. Dempski – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Industrial and academic laboratories are undergoing a paradigm shift in process technology from batch to modular flow. Implementation of modular flow processes can enable more efficient operation with superior throughput, scalability, and safety factors owing to superior transport and reaction kinetics. However, both fine chemical and…

Simbarashe Nkomo; Alia Bly – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In undergraduate science education, laboratory courses stand as essential cornerstones of experiential learning. Chemistry laboratory courses offer students unique hands-on experiences that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The journey through the undergraduate chemistry curriculum is paved with a series of…
