Bram Bruininks; Ludo B. F. Juurlink – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
We present the design of a periscope-type VIS spectrometer for educational purposes that combines strong features from various earlier designs and adds new ones. Three 3D-printed pieces that hold a small thin mirror sheet, a 1/8th wedge of a DVD, and two razor blades are easily assembled and facilitate insight into its construction. A new feature…

Huanyu Ren; Jiajun Zhang; Liqi Peng; Huihui Li; Zhi Su – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
This work presents a homemade multirole 3D-printed modular spectrometer(MPMS), which can be easily assembled like bricks and expanded with several modules to measure different types of spectra, such as UV-vis absorption, fluorescence emission, flame emission/absorption, glow discharge, and even Raman spectra. The spectrometer is designed to be…

Bullis, Ryan; Coker, Joseph; Belding, Jacob; De Groodt, Adam; Mitchell, Dylan W.; Velazquez, Nancy; Bell, Ashtyn; Hall, Jaycee; Gunderson, William A.; Gunderson, Julie E. C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A fluorometer is a device that measures the spectroscopic properties of fluorescent materials, and fluorometry is used widely in chemistry research settings to characterize fluorescent samples. One of the obstacles faced by undergraduate programs looking to implement fluorometer-based experiments into their laboratory curriculum is the high cost…

Ledesma, Claudia Martins; Krepsky, Larissa Mascarenhas; Borges, Endler Marcel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Here, students determine the total phenolic content in beers using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent is a yellow complex, in an alkaline medium; it reacts with phenols and non-phenolic reducing substances to form a blue complex. Quantitative analysis was carried out using absorbance measured at 765 nm (standard method) and…

Kovarik, Michelle L.; Clapis, Julia R.; Romano-Pringle, K. Ana – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
One challenge of teaching chemical analysis is the proliferation of sophisticated, but often impenetrable, instrumentation in the modern laboratory. Complex instruments, and the software that runs them, distance students from the physical and chemical processes that generate the analytical signal. A solution to this challenge is the introduction…
