MSB-II Our laboratory is housed in the new MSB-II building which opened in September 2009. It is a state-of-the-art research facility and among the more beautiful buildings on campus. Also housed within MSB-II is the IU Stable Isotope Research Faciltity.


Sycamore Creek

Our lab has access to the facilities and properties of the IU Research and Teaching Preserve, including Sycamore Creek which is only 45 minutes from campus.

Varian GC For analysis of nitrous oxide and sulfur hexaflouride we have a Varian gas chromatograph with an electron capture detector.


Shimadzu We use a Shimadzu TOC analyzer for determining concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN).


IC We have a Dionex ion chromatograph for analysis of dissolved ionic species, including low molecular weight organic acids.


Lachat We use a Lachat flow injection analyzer for determining concentrations of dissolved nutrients, including nitrate, ammonium, and soluble reactive phosphorus.
