(Millipore)

A bench-top ASTM Type I and II water production system to generate reagent grade water.

VMP3 Multi-Channel Potentiostat/ Galvanostat & Testbox 1
(BioLogic)

 

An 8-channel potentiostat/galvanostat with electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS) capability to monitor and control electrochemical experiments.

 

YSI 7100 MBS Multi-Parameter Fermentation Product Analyzer
(YSI Life Science)

 

A multi-parameter biological metabolite analyzer that uses membrane electrodes for analysis.

ICS-3000 Ion Chromatography System with AS/DC/DP/EG/EO
(Dionex)

 

A reagent-free ion chromatograph LC system for the separation and quantitation of inorganics, especially anions. Currently connected in-line with an AB SCIEX API 2000 triple quad. MS.

1290 Infinity UHPLC 
(Agilent Technologies)

Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (UHPLC) for non-volatile and thermally labile organics analysis. The system is equipped with a diode array detector (DAD) for real-time UV-Vis spectral identification of compounds. The UHPLC will eventually be connected in-line with a dedicated triple quad. MS for the analysis of trace contaminants in recycled water.

API 2000 MS/MS System 
(Applied Biosystems)

 

Triple quadrupole mass spectrometer that can be hooked up to different liquid chromatography (LC) systems. Used for mass spectral identification and further fragmentation of analytes. Currently connected to Dionex ICS-3000 system for isotopic characterization of elements in key anions.
