A Single Operator Multiparameter Metabolic Analyser (SOMMA)

罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院 Island将进一步开发一种自动库仑检测 船上使用的处理器。 这位单人操作员 多参数代谢分析仪（SOMMA），将允许 同时处理几个关键的代谢参数， 海水 这些测量，从一个单一的样本， 包括总二氧化碳、氧、碳-14、pH 碱度和各种衍生数据。 微处理器将 控制SOMMA的运营，进行统计分析， 存储结果数据。 它将被设计为与一个 各种现有的、可互换的化学探测器。 在快速、准确和高效地 测量水生样本中的化学参数将 有利于许多化学，生态和微生物研究。 能够在研究船上进行这些测量 当样品是新鲜的时， 可能的化学降解， 把样本运到岸上进行分析 //

The Graduates School of Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island will further develop an automated coulometric detection processor for shipboard use. This Single-Operator Multiparameter Metabolic Analyzer (SOMMA), will allow the simultaneous processing of several key metabolic parameters in seawater. These measurements, obtained from a single sample, include total carbon dioxide, oxygen, carbon-14, pH, alkalinity, and various derivative data. A microprocessor will control SOMMA's operation, perform statistical analyses, and store resulting data. It will be designed to work with a variety of existing, interchangeable chemical detectors. Improvements in making rapid, accurate, and efficient measurements of chemical parameters in aquatic samples will benefit many chemical, ecological, and microbiological studies. Being able to make these measurements onboard research vessels when samples are fresh is a further benefit and minimizes possible chemical degradation from having to store and transport samples ashore for analysis. //
