Instruments

Drill Core

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Drill Core

Generic Description:

A core drill is a drill specifically designed to remove a cylinder of material, much like a hole saw. The material left inside the drill bit is referred to as the core.

Core drills are used frequently in mineral exploration where the coring may be several hundred to several thousand feet in length. The core samples are recovered and examined by geologists for mineral percentages and stratigraphic contact points. This gives exploration companies the information necessary to begin or abandon mining operations in a particular area.

Flow Injection Analyzer

Supplied Name: Lachat Instruments FIA+ 8000 Series

Supplied Description:

Porewater samples collected for:
NOx (Nitrate + Nitrite)
Nitrite
Orthophosphate
Reactive Silicate

Analytical Method: Flow Injection Autoanalyzer

Instrument: Lachat Instruments FIA+ 8000 Series

Method Reference(s):
Lachat Instruments FIA 8000 Autoanalyzer Method 31-107-04-1-A
Lachat Instruments FIA 8000 Autoanalyzer Method 31-115-01-1-H
Lachat Instruments FIA 8000 Autoanalyzer Method 31-114-27-1-D

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Flow Injection Analyzer

Acronym: FIA

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB36/

Generic Description:

An instrument that performs flow injection analysis. Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an approach to chemical analysis that is accomplished by injecting a plug of sample into a flowing carrier stream. FIA is an automated method in which a sample is injected into a continuous flow of a carrier solution that mixes with other continuously flowing solutions before reaching a detector. Precision is dramatically increased when FIA is used instead of manual injections and as a result very specific FIA systems have been developed for a wide array of analytical techniques.

Gravity Corer

Supplied Name: Gravity Core

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Gravity Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The gravity corer allows researchers to sample sediment layers at the bottom of lakes or oceans. The coring device is deployed from the ship and gravity carries it to the seafloor. (http://www.whoi.edu/instruments/viewInstrument.do?id=1079).

Ion Chromatograph

Supplied Name: DIONEX ICS-2000

Supplied Description:

Porewater samples collected for: Anions (Sulfate + Chloride)

Analytical Method: Ion Chromatography

Instrument: DIONEX ICS-2000

Method Reference: DIONEX Application Note 154: Determination of Inorganic Anions in Environmental Waters Using a Hydroxide-Selective Column

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Ion Chromatograph

Generic Description:

Ion chromatography is a form of liquid chromatography that measures concentrations of ionic species by separating them based on their interaction with a resin. Ionic species separate differently depending on species type and size. Ion chromatographs are able to measure concentrations of major anions, such as fluoride, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, and sulfate, as well as major cations such as lithium, sodium, ammonium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the parts-per-billion (ppb) range.

Liquid Scintillation Counter

Supplied Name: Scintillation Counter

Supplied Description:

Porewater samples collected for: Anaerobic Methane Oxidation

Analytical Method: Sediment incubations with 14CH4

Instrument: Scintillation Counter

Method Reference: Orcutt, B., et al. 2005. Molecular biogeochemistry of sulfate reduction, methanogenesis and the anaerobic oxidation of methane at Gulf of Mexico methane seeps. GCA Vol. 69, No. 17, pp. 4267–4281

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Liquid Scintillation Counter

Acronym: LSC

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB21/

Generic Description:

Liquid scintillation counting is an analytical technique which is defined by the incorporation of the radiolabeled analyte into uniform distribution with a liquid chemical medium capable of converting the kinetic energy of nuclear emissions into light energy. Although the liquid scintillation counter is a sophisticated laboratory counting system used the quantify the activity of particulate emitting (ß and a) radioactive samples, it can also detect the auger electrons emitted from 51Cr and 125I samples.

Liquid scintillation counters are instruments assaying alpha and beta radiation by quantitative detection of visible light produced by the passage of rays or particles through a suitable scintillant incorporated into the sample.
