Inspire the next generation of scientists
For a long time, looking for talented enough qualified staff has been the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) enterprise faces a challenge.Ranstad North America 2019In figures showAt the end of 2016, the United States has about 3 million STEM a worker to be appropriate gap.Then this basis, between 2017 and 2027, the United States will increase in the number of STEM position13%, so the laborResource gap is very obvious.
Through proper training and resources to support the next generation of scientists is the key of the global agenda.
Traditional analytical chemistry instrument is for people who have trained user large laboratory design, as a result, most students can use these laboratories.Brooke determined to reverse the trend, focusing on our technology is more suitable for the teaching environment.
Students in the early academic career contact magnetic resonance spectrum and other traditional complex technology, thus opened the door to the research in the future, extending from the environmental monitoring, food safety research area to the study of biochemical and archaeology.
Fill the blank of the skills
Important tool in the field of environmental pollutants, such as electron spin resonance (ESR), also known as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), is used to study a series of application of metal complexes and organic free radicals.Most undergraduates during accept education have no contact with electron spin resonance, it is often seen as a kind of difficult to professor and master the technology.
Skills to fill this gap, our desktop ESR spectrometer can be used as a student chemistry lab teaching tool, is also very suitable for scientific research.In addition to high resolution than traditional instrument operation is simple, desktop system for academic institutions with limited budgets is a low cost option, and it covers an area of small, is the ideal choice for limited space laboratory.
"Micro ESR is a new technology for students, it is a small and exquisite.It is very convenient to use, our students took less than five minutes to learn the basic operation, including how to insert the sample, how to collect data and how to deal with data, etc.This is a very easy to operate software, it provides useful information for the students."Nova scotia cape Breton university lecturer, senior laboratory Judy images commented.
"With the experience of using the ESR, this to me in the study of organic chemistry to determine the rotation of the electronic help.It can also help me in my career, because most of the time we are in the treatment of organic and inorganic compounds, it is a very convenient tool."Kuljit Kaur, cape Breton university of fourth grade students.
