Instrumentation
SmartChem Nutrient Analyzer
Analyzes nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, phosphate, silicate, chloride, silica, sulfate and sulfides, alkalinity and others EPA protocols.
Fisons Elemental Analyzer
Shimadzu TOCv
Measures amount of carbon: inorganic and organic, as well as total nitrogen from the same injection.
Hitachi Fluorometer
Scanning spectrofluorometer
Hitachi U-3010 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
Waters High Pressure Liquid Chromatography
- Separation, detection and quantification of components in a solution
- PSPs, pigments, amino acids, and most non-corosive compounds providing researcher use the correct column and solvent system
- The department provides the instrument, but researcher provide the solvents, column and parts. HPLC is a high volume producer of hazardous wastes; research isresponsible for proper collection and pick-up.
CHN Particle Analyzer
- Micro and macro determination of total nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur present in a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds
- Under supervision of Dam Lab, but kept in room 167 to share with others.
Cell Flow Cytometer
Sample Preparation
- Muffling ovens
- Drying oven
- Ultrasonic water bath
- MilliQ water system
