Burlington, MA — January 4, 2010 — Burlington-based contract manufacturer for drug products, Hyaluron Contract Manufacturing (HCM) donated a spectrophotometer to Wayland High School (WHS) in Wayland, MA. The spectrophotometer was donated to enhance the education currently received in the AP Biology and Chemistry classes. The instrument will be used to measure the degree and process of photosynthesis. This will also be used in the Chemistry Department to enable students to measure reactions and see end points to chemical reactions. The equipment allows students to get experience with instrumentation that they will use in college or on the job.
Emily Norton, Biology teacher at WHS said, “In the past we had limited access to a spectrophotometer, and for a class size of 20 students, it just wasn’t enough. Kids weren’t able to finish the work on time and often were late to their next class. The equipment is so expensive that the school doesn’t have the resources to purchase a new instrument. However, because of HCM’s generosity we now have an additional spectrophotometer, which is extremely useful to our AP students.”
