The ANSERV Lab uses three SPECTRO ARCOS Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometers (ICP-OES) to measure the concentration of a wide variety of metals in a liquid matrix. We use argon as the carrier gas.
Chemist Kyle Quina loads the ICP autosampler. The flame in the small window (upper right) creates the plasma needed to detect the metals.
The ANSERV Lab uses a SEAL Analytical AQ400 Discrete Analyzer to measure orthophosphate, total phosphorus, ammonia, nitrate/nitrite, and chloride in a liquid matrix. Here, Lab Technician Brenden Burns loads the autosampler.
The ANSERV Lab uses four Xylem OI Analytical Flow Solution Automated Chemistry Analyzers to measure orthophosphate, total phosphorus, ammonia, and nitrate/nitrite in a liquid matrix. Chemist April Bomes works in the background to prepare samples.
