Abstract
Laboratory instruction in first year college chemistry courses has undergone change in recent years. Among the new emphases at some institutions is increasing usage of modern instrumentation, both instruments of low cost purchased in quantity and single copies of high cost instruments. Not all educators believe the more advanced instruments are suitable for first year use. In this article, the arguments for and against use of advanced instruments in introductory courses are presented and discussed.
