Acquisition of an Autoanalyzer for Environmental Research

Brevard教学和研究实验室正在寻求帮助，以购买Perstorp Flow Solution III双通道自动分析仪，进行自动化营养分析。目前有几个研究项目正在进行中，购买这一仪器将大大加强这些项目。这些项目的重点是评价位于佛罗里达东海岸的一个河口的印第安河泻湖生态系统内的水质状况。目前，Brevard实验室必须依靠繁琐、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。布雷瓦德实验室作为一个联合使用的设施运作，所有的仪器都可以通过开放的政策提供给整个区域的研究界。作为布里瓦德社区学院的直接支持组织，研究生和本科生的研究培训，以及访问科学家，是布里瓦德实验室的主要任务之一。由于自动分析仪，如本文所提出的被认为是标准的执行许多研究活动，与此仪器采集的培训成为可能，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.
