## Abstract

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) is committed to enhancing the quality of undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to expand participation in the nation's STEM workforce. HBCU-UP works toward this goal by providing awards to develop, implement, and study innovative approaches for making dramatic improvements in the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may participate successfully in graduate programs and/or careers in STEM disciplines. This HBCU-UP equipment award provides Alabama A&M University with funding to support the purchase of an Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography System (UHPLC) with a Photodiode Array (PDA) detector for undergraduate research and training. The team will leverage their existing research capacities and utilize the new highly advanced instrument to separate, detect, and analyze the components of complex chemical mixtures. This important analytical instrument will play a crucial role in advancing scientific research and education across a wide range of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, food science, environmental science, and other STEM fields. 

In addition to advancing research, the instrument will be fully integrated into undergraduate laboratory courses, providing all students with hands-on experience using industry-standard tools and analytical
