MRI funds will be used to acquire a Lachat Instruments QuikChem® 8500 Series II flow injection analysis system with coupled ion chromatograph system (FIA-IC) to provide a high throughput automated analysis of nutrient and ions for samples from surface and ground waters, soil extracts, digested solid sample, and other samples that might be required by researchers. The modular construction of the system allows parallel analysis or independent analysis of samples using the FIA and IC components of this integrated system using EPA approved methods. The fast processing time will ensure that all users will have access to the instrument for their research, and the purchase of this single, shared equipment is more efficient than having each lab develop and conduct their own manual spectrophotometric analyses. The acquisition of this instrument will allow rapid throughput of samples from existing studies but will facilitate the expansion of research projects in the Biological, Geological, and Agricultural Sciences at Illinois State University. A primary goal of Illinois State University is to provide an accessible small-school learning experience with the opportunities of a big university, and our education, research, and outreach activities will be substantially enhanced with the acquisition of the FIA-IC. The FIA-IC will raise the level of current analyses in classes including Human Physiology, Stream Ecology, Limnology, Soil Fertility and Fertilizers, and Environmental Geology Field Methods. The FIA-IC will be incorporated into existing K-12 outreach programs that involve student groups from Chicago urban districts and local rural districts to further expose high school students to scientific research through either age-appropriate learning modules or independent research during the summer. Researchers from Northern Illinois University, University of Illinois - Springfield and University of Illinois Champaign Urbana, will also use the instrument. Acquisition of the FIA-IC will constitute a central piece of equipment needed in the development of an interdisciplinary-based environmental analytical center bridging the disciplines of Biological, Geological, Agricultural and Chemical Sciences. The instrument will be operated and administratively managed as a cost-center at Illinois State University and will promote research particularly on water quality within an agricultural and urban setting.

MRI资金将用于购买Lachat Instruments QuikChem® 8500 Series II流动注射分析系统，该系统配备耦合离子色谱系统（FIA-IC），可对地表和地下沃茨、土壤提取物、消化固体样品以及研究人员可能需要的其他样品进行高通量自动化营养和离子分析。该系统的模块化结构允许使用EPA批准的方法使用该集成系统的FIA和IC组件对样品进行并行分析或独立分析。快速的处理时间将确保所有用户都可以使用该仪器进行研究，并且购买这种单一的共享设备比每个实验室开发和进行自己的手动分光光度分析更有效。该仪器的获得将允许现有研究的样品的快速吞吐量，但将促进伊利诺伊州州立大学生物，地质和农业科学研究项目的扩展。 伊利诺伊州州立大学的主要目标是提供一个可访问的小学校的学习经验与一个大的大学的机会，我们的教育，研究和推广活动将大大加强与FIA-IC的收购。 FIA-IC将提高人类生理学，河流生态学，湖沼学，土壤肥力和肥料以及环境地质学领域方法等课程的当前分析水平。FIA-IC将被纳入现有的K-12外展计划，该计划涉及来自芝加哥市区和当地农村地区的学生团体，以进一步让高中生通过适合年龄的学习模块或夏季独立研究进行科学研究。来自北方伊利诺斯大学、伊利诺斯大学斯普林菲尔德分校和伊利诺斯大学尚潘厄巴纳分校的研究人员也将使用这种仪器。FIA-IC的收购将构成发展跨学科环境分析中心所需的核心设备，该中心将生物，地质，农业和化学科学学科联系起来。该仪器将作为伊利诺斯州州立大学的成本中心进行操作和行政管理，并将促进特别是农业和城市环境中水质的研究。
