Instrument University of Florida** External Academic External Market
Ion Chromatograph* $10/sample $12/sample $17/sample
N2O Gas Chromatograph $11/sample $13/sample $18/sample
AutoAnalyzer* $10/sample $12/sample $17/sample
Cavity Ring Down Spectrometer* $6/sample $7/sample $12/sample
Fluorescence Spectrophotometer $25/hr $35/hr $50/hr
UV-Vis Spectrophotometer $10/hr $12/hr $17/hr

*If the number of samples is greater than number of standards and check standard, there is no charge for standardization.  If the number of samples is less than standards and check standards, the charges will be based on half of the number of injections.

** Rates assume that the analyses will be performed by the UF affiliated person. If analyses are done by personnel in the Hydrogeochemistry Laboratory, charges will be at the External Academic rate.

Additional equipment that may be available for use includes numerous field sampling devices, 222Rn field analyzers, data logging equipment, and field vehicles.  Please contact me about rental charges if you have a need to use any of this equipment.

 

Some activities in the lab:

flow through experiments
Laibin and Caitlin prep flow through experiments to evaluate N and microbial responses to changing salinity of subterranean estuaries
Sunny weighitng
Sunny weighing samples in preparation for P extraction experiments of wetland sediments
