SENR Facility
Make- Magee Scientific Model No- AE33-7Application- he gas stream (frequently ambient air) passes through a filter material which traps the suspended particulates, creating a deposit of increasing density. A light beam projected through the deposit is attenuated by those particles which are absorbing (‘black’) rather than scattering (‘white’). Measurements are made at successive regular time intervals. The increase in attenuation from one measurement to the next is proportional to the increase in the density of optically absorbing material on the filter Respirable dust sampler
Make- SpectroModel No- SLE-RDS104NLApplication: Suspended Particles in the air are sampled at constant rate of 0.9 to 1.3 m3 /min through the inlet of cyclone.

Make- Li- CORModel No- Li -8100aApplication- Although there are other physical processes that play a role in soil respiration, CO2 movement or CO 2 flux out of the soil is the primary function of soil respiration. Soil CO2 flux is a significant component of the total atmospheric carbon balance, and it is a very important variable in any study of global climate change. Soil respiration is also a strong indicator of the biological health and vigor of a soil and is an excellent tool to evaluate the efficacy of bioremediation efforts and the impact of changing agricultural practices. 6.

The cycler then raises and lowers the temperature of the block in discrete, pre-programmed steps. 7. Instrumentation Lab CHNS Analyzer
Make- Euro EAModel No- EA-3000Application- As the name implies, a CHN Analyzer is a scientific instrument which can determine the elemental concentrations in a given sample. It is used to measure Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Nitrogen (N). Sample sizs may differ depending on system, but most often in around a few mg. For some sample matrices larger mass is preferred due to sample inhomogenicity.This instrument uses combustion to oxidize the sample into simple compounds which are then detected with thermal conductivity detection or infrared spectroscopy . Separation of interferences is done by chemical reagents. Nikon Microscop with Camra

Make-PelicanModel No- KelvacApplication- itrogen is a necessary component of all living things. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. When Amino acid was discovered it was found that each amino acid contained Nitrogen.Fertilizers which have Ammonia and Urea as key components are found to contain Nitrogen. Nitrogen components like TNT, Nitrocellulose etc. are key compounds in Explosives. Heterocyclic Nitrogen Compounds are important in production of Plastic, Rubber and Paint. The purity of water is evaluated in knowing the Nitrogen content of water. Nitrogen has proved to be an excellent indicator. Gas chromatography

SENR Facility
Make- AgilentModel No-7890Application-The principle in gas chromatography principle involves separation of components of the sample under test due to partition in between gaseous mobile phase and stationary liquid phase. The components partitioned into gas come out first while other come later.Gas chromatography runs on the principle of pa rtition chromatography for separation of components. In terms of stationary and mobile phases it is categorized under gas-liquid type of chromatography i.e stationary phase is a liquid layer supported over a stationary phase while the mobile phase is an inert and stable gas. Hence the perfect name as Gas Liquid chromatography (GLC). GCMS (Gas Chromatogram – mass spectrophotometer )
Make-AgilentModel No-7980 – 5975CApplication- The Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) instrument separates chemical mixtures (the GC component) and identifies the components at a molecular level (the MS component). It is one of the most accurate tools for analyzing environmental samples. The GC works on the principle that a mixture will separate into individual substances when heated. The heated gases are carried through a column with an inert gas (such as helium). As the separated substances emerge from the column opening, they flow into the MS. Mass spectrometry identifies compounds by the mass of the analyte molecule. A ÒlibraryÓ of known mass spectra, covering several thousand compounds, is stored on a computer. Mass spectrometry is considered the only definitive analytical detector.
