Acquisition of an Autoanalyzer for Environmental Research

Brevard教学和研究实验室正在寻求帮助，收购Perstorp Flow Solution III双通道自动分析仪，以执行自动营养分析。目前正在进行的几个研究项目将因获得这台仪器而得到极大的加强。这些项目的重点是对位于佛罗里达州东海岸的河口印第安河泻湖生态系统的水质状况进行评估。目前，布里瓦德实验室必须依靠乏味、过时的手工技术来进行营养分析，这极大地限制了这些研究活动的范围和成功。布里瓦德实验室是一个联合使用的设施，所有的仪器都是通过开放政策提供给整个地区的研究界。作为布里瓦德社区学院的直接支持机构，对研究生和本科生以及访问科学家进行研究培训是布里瓦德实验室的主要任务之一。由于本文中提出的自动分析仪被认为是执行许多研究活动的标准，因此该仪器获得的培训将具有广泛的适用性。

Brevard Teaching and Research Laboratories is seeking assistance in the acquisition of a Perstorp Flow Solution III dual channel autoanalyzer to perform automated nutrient analyses. There are currently several research projects underway which would be greatly enhanced by the acquisition of this instrument. These projects focus upon the evaluation of water quality conditions within the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem, an estuary located on the east coast of Florida. At present, Brevard Labs must rely upon tedious, obsolete, manual techniques to perform nutrient analyses, greatly limiting the scope and success of these research activities. Brevard Labs operates as a joint-use facility, and all instrumentation is available to the entire regional research community through an open-door policy. As a direct support organization of Brevard Community College, research training of graduate and undergraduate students, as well as visiting scientists, is one of the principal missions of Brevard Labs. As autoanalyers such as that proposed herein are considered standard to performing many research activities, the training made possible with this instrument acquisition will have wide-spread applicability.
