Application of Virtual Simulation Experiment in Instrumental Analysis Teaching

Virtual simulation experiment teaching innovatively combines information technology with pedagogical reform, offering a solution to the spatial and temporal limitations of traditional lab education. This paper discusses an instrumental analysis virtual simulation platform developed with Unity3D for interactive, three-dimensional modeling. It enables the replication of complex analytical instruments, providing a dynamic environment for students to engage with and comprehend advanced techniques and procedures. The gas chromatography module exemplifies the platform’s ability to enhance practical skills, apply theoretical knowledge, and navigate safety protocols within realistic scenarios. Student proficiency and satisfaction have notably increased, validating the platform’s effectiveness and its transformative potential for instrumental analysis instruction.
