Resources
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.
How the CHN analyzer works:
Complete and instantaneous oxidation of the sample by flash combustion (>1000 degrees C). Converts all ogranic and inorganic substances into comubstion products. Resulting combustion gases pass through the reduction furnace (650 degrees C) and are swept into the chromatographic column by the carrier gas (He).
