“…Cloud software can be quite useful in laboratories, since it almost totally eliminates the need for paper reports and opens new possibilities for student collaboration. The idea of networking chemistry lab equipment is over a decade old, but in the past it has been done with physical connections rather than with the cloud . More recently, Weibel has networked a physical chemistry laboratory using Google Drive; Amick has also done this in an organic laboratory by using the Notability software on iPads, and Bennett and Pence have used Google Docs to collect student results from undergraduate organic laboratories .…”

Many U.S. colleges and universities are adopting cloud computing, which may be defined as a distributed computing system that provides access to virtual resources, including computer hardware, networks, software, development platforms, and memory, at an off-site location and that can be accessed locally. Thus, far, this development has been driven primarily by the hope for administrative benefits, but the cloud also presents some excellent opportunities for chemical educators. Moving to the cloud can allow every student in a class to have access to all of the resources necessary for the class, simply by accepting an invitation to join a site. This encourages collaboration and the development of new educational models.

“…Providing student access to modern instrumentation during the first-year chemistry laboratory presents a logistical challenge given the ratio of large number of students to the few (if any) research-grade instruments available for students enrolled in these laboratories. One alternative is the acquisition of a multifunctional chemical analysis system (MCA) − such as MeasureNet or Vernier . These systems are robust and typically use student stations connected to a remote central computer for data collection, minimizing the need for computers at every student workspace.…”

Flow Injection Analysis and Liquid Chromatography for Multifunctional Chemical Analysis (MCA) Systems

et al. 2013

The large class sizes of first-year chemistry labs makes it challenging to provide students with hands-on access to instrumentation because the number of students typically far exceeds the number of research-grade instruments available to collect data. Multifunctional chemical analysis (MCA) systems provide a viable alternative for large-scale instruction while supporting a hands-on approach to more advanced instrumentation. This study describes how the capabilities of MCA systems are extended to introduce liquid chromatography (LC) and flow injection analysis (FIA) in undergraduate laboratories. A semi-micro plastic cuvette with a Teflon tubing insert is fashioned as the flow cell for a MCA absorbance− fluorescence detector. Two MCA systems, Vernier and MeasureNet, are used in two unique experiments demonstrating the detection of salicylate in aspirin tablets by FIA and the LC separation of a mixture of riboflavin and fluorescein. Both instruments, composed of a syringe pump, T-injection valve, and the MCA detector, operated in the kinetic mode, are rugged and inexpensive permitting student construction, if desired.
