A few weeks ago, Dr. Todd Kana delivered a new instrument to the River Center. The Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometer, which Todd designs and builds, measures dissolved gases directly from water samples. We had one of these instruments in our lab at FIU, and used it to study denitrification in the Floridan Aquifer and in spring-fed and blackwater rivers.
Yesterday, Todd returned to us to train about 8 people from the River Center and other labs on the use of the new instrument, which is a slightly different model than the old MIMS. We also had lunch with about a dozen people where we discussed the different applications of the MIMS, including the different gases it can measure and the different kinds of samples it can measure (air, water; field samples, in line experiments, etc.). We are very excited to have this new capability in the lab, and look forward to all of the neat things we will learn with it!
