Incorporating research into the teaching lab has been documented to increase student learning and also provides the faculty with important extra hands to generate data.  This has been a challenge when teaching courses in Analytical Chemistry because of the limited numbers of research instruments and other sophisticated equipment.  In order to give the students an authentic method development research experience and avoid an equipment bottle neck, we have reconfigured the laboratory portion of the Analytical Chemistry teaching lab to be a method development service for research colleagues.  We have developed analytical methods for colleagues in Neuroscience, Biology, Environmental Studies, Exercise Sciences as well as other investigators in Chemistry.  We will present the logistics of this project along with our initial assessment results.
