Limnology Lab

The Limnology Lab is equipped with a fume hood and several analytical instruments, including a Carlo-Erba CHNS/O analyzer, a Lachat nutrient autoanalyzer, a Dionex ion chromatograph, a bomb calorimeter, and an isothermal microcalorimeter. Together with the sample preparation facilities in the adjacent laboratory, these facilities give investigators at the Appalachian Laboratory the ability to measure carbon, nutrients, cations and anions in liquid and sediment samples, including ground, digested, or extracted plant and soil samples.
