The VINDTA 3C
(Versatile INstrument for the Determination of Total
inorganic carbon and titration Alkalinity) is capable of making highly precise measurements
(± 1 µmol/kg) of DIC and TA.
They were purchased from the Marianda (Marine Analytics and Data) Company in Kiel, Germany and built by Dr.
Ludger Mintrop. This one is connected to a UIC 2015 coulometer with a 2011 emulation chip.
Our second VINDTA 3C is connected to a UIC 2012 coulometer. The two VINDTAs are the workhorses of the lab and between them we can run 40–50 samples per day for DIC and TA.
Shimadzu Total Organic Carbon/Nitrogen Analyzer
Our Shimadzu TOC/N analyzer provides measurements of the organic carbon and nitrogen pools in the marine environment.
PerkinElmer 2400 Series II CHNS/O System
Our elemental analyzer allows us to make measurements of the particulate carbon and nitrogen
loads in the water column.
pCO2 Sensors
We also have an ever growing number of SAMI ρCO2 and pH sensors and Battelle Autonomous
ρCO2 Systems for our mooring deployments.
