Abstract
An initial laboratory experience for an upper-level analytical chemistry course is described. Students individually learn to use an instrument and test it using a simple sample by measuring parameters such as the limit of detection. Each student tests a different instrument. After the experiment, the class meets as a group to report on the results of their investigations. This exercise is designed to be a two to three-week part of a one-semester laboratory. The reasoning behind such an approach is discussed and variations to the procedure are described.
