The Core Analytical Laboratory (CAL) is a core facility located on the University of Nevada, Reno campus, and is dually operated by the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station and the USDA Agricultural Research Service. We specialize in agriculturally related laboratory analyses and offer a wide variety of equipment and instrumentation as well as training and services. We offer three pricing tiers: |
Our analytical equipment includes:
• Inductively Coupled Plasma (–AES [Agilent 4210], and –MS [Shimadzu 2030])
• Gas Chromatography (–MS [Shimadzu QP2020], FID [Agilent 6890N], ECD [Agilent 6890+])
• Elemental Analysis [Leco CN 928]
• Flow Injection Analysis [Astoria-Pacific]
• UV-Visible Spectrophotometry [Thermo-Spectronic Genesys 20]
• Microwave Digestion [Anton Paar Multiwave GO]
• Particle Size Analysis
