Acquisition of a Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectro-photometer and a Gradient Ion Chromatograph

该合同提供了购买原子吸收光谱仪和离子色谱仪所需资金的一半，这些设备将在爱达荷大学地质和地质工程系安装和运行。该大学致力于提供收购所需的剩余资金。这些仪器将主要用于首席调查员和同事的研究和教学计划，这些计划要求对天然水和岩石样品中的主要元素和微量元素进行化学分析。这些设备还将向校园内的其他研究人员以及附近研究机构的地区用户开放。

This award provides one-half the funds required for the acquisition of an atomic absorption spectrometer and an ion chromatograph unit that will be installed and operated in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at the University of Idaho. The University is committed to providing the remaining funds that will be needed for the acquisition. The instruments will be used primarily in the research and teaching programs of the Principal Investigator and colleagues that require chemical analyses of major and trace elements in natural water and rock samples. The equipment will also be open to other researchers on campus as well as regional users from nearby research institutions.
