The Fuge Tube Diode Array SpectrophotometerB. T. Arneson, S. R. Long, K. K. Stewart, and J. J. Lagowski Presents details for adapting a diode array UVvis spectrophotometer to incorporate the use of polypropylene microcentrifuge tubesfuge tubesas cuvettes. The fuge tubes also can serve as reaction vessels, which permits the ready study of chemical systems involving heterogeneous phases by eliminating the need for tedious separations. Arneson, B. T.; Long, S. R.; Stewart, K. K.; Lagowski, J. J. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1663.

Data Pooling in a Chemical Kinetics Experiment: The Aquation of a Series of Cobalt(III) ComplexesRichard S. Herrick, Kenneth V. Mills, and Lisa P. Nestor Describes an experiment that introduces students to integrated rate laws, the search for a mechanism that is consistent with chemical and kinetic data, and the concept of activation barriers and their measurement in a curriculum whose pedagogical philosophy makes the laboratory the center of learning for undergraduates in their first two years of instruction. Herrick, Richard S.; Mills, Kenneth V.; Nestor, Lisa P. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1120.

Some Unusual Applications of the "Error-bar" Feature in Excel SpreadsheetsKieran F. Lim Novel uses of the "error-bar" feature of spreadsheet packages in the areas of enzyme kinetics, vibrational spectroscopy, vibronic spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry are discussed. It is argued that using software features for purposes that were not envisioned by the programmers fosters flexibility and innovation.

SpecScan; A Utility Program for Generating Numerical Data from Printed Forms of SpectraConstantinos E. Efstathiou Obtaining digital data from analog figures is made much easier using this Windows utility. After scanning and touching-up a figure, you can import it into SpecScan to obtain X-Y data, which can then be exported to Excel or other program for additional processing.
