Request for an elemental analyzer (C, H, N, O, S) at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute, Port Aransas, Texas 78373

罗纳德·本纳博士是位于墨西哥湾沿岸阿兰萨斯港的德克萨斯海洋科学研究所的研究科学家。该研究所是德克萨斯州墨西哥湾沿岸最古老的持续运作的海洋研究实验室，它主持了来自德克萨斯大学和许多其他组织的调查人员的积极研究。Benner博士建议收购一个元素分析仪（碳，氢，氮，氧和硫），用于研究所的一般用途。该仪器将供驻地和访问科学家在各种沿海环境中进行生物地球化学研究。这台仪器将取代一台过时的仪器，并将大大扩大实验室的研究能力。拟议的仪器收购将对许多正在进行的研究项目产生直接和有益的影响。化学分析的数量和准确性将在研究所增加，研究生和高级本科生将接触到目前可用的最现代化的研究设备。

Dr. Ronald Benner is a research scientist at the Texas Marine Science Institute at Port Aransas, on the Gulf of Mexico coast. The Institute is the oldest continuously operating marine research lab on the Texas Gulf Coast, and it hosts active research by investigators from the University of Texas and many other organizations. Dr. Benner proposes acquisition of an elemental analyzer (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur) for general use at the Institute. This instrument would be used by resident and visiting scientists in biogeochemical research in a variety of coastal environments. This instrument would replace an obsolete instrument and would greatly expand the lab's research capacity. The proposed instrument acquisition will have immediate and beneficial impacts on many active research programs. The number and accuracy of chemical analyses will increase at the Institute, and graduate students and advanced undergraduates will be exposed to the most modern research equipment currently available.
