Analytical Chemistry Laboratory:
Equipment

Our chemistry laboratories are both service and research facilities. They are equipped to perform inorganic environmental analyses, geochemical analyses, acid rock drainage studies, ore and sediment analyses, and major, minor, and trace element inorganic analyses on water samples. For a more complete description see the listings under "Services" and our price list.

Picarro Cavity Ring-Down Spectrometer
Dustin Baca works with New Mexico Tech student Kamryn Gordon on the laboratory's Picarro Cavity Ring-Down Spectrometer. The instrument is used to measure the oxygen and hydrogen isotopes of water, which can indicate the processes that have affected groundwater or surface water and help researchers better understand water recharge or flowpaths.
