ERRL Research Infrastructure
ERRL is located in the KSU Engineering Complex. ERRL's research infrastructure includes:
- Gas chromatographs with flame ionization and electron capture detectors + Autosampler with SPME capability (Varian)
- High pressure liquid chromatographs with gradient pump, photo diode array, fluorescence, and refractive index detectors + Autosampler (Varian)
- UV-Vis scanning spectrophotometer (Varian)
- Liquid Scintillation Counter (Beckman)
- Biological Material Oxidizer (R.J. Harvey)
- High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (Marathon)
- Freeze Dry System (Labconco)
- Ion Chromatograph (Dionex)
- apparatus for sublation, soxhlet extractions and solid-phase extractions
- a walk-in environmental chamber
- support equipment such as autoclaves, incubators, electronic balances, pumps, automated sample collectors, shakers, tumblers.
- Accelerated Solvent Extraction System in the Department of Agronomy
