Gas Analysis Stable Isotope
The department of Geology hosts the UPRM Gas Analysis Stable Isotope Laboratory (GASI Lab), recently constructed through a grant from the National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation program and the University of Puerto Rico Central Administration. The GASI Lab’s main research tool is the IsoPrime Multiflow System, which is an automated system for water equilibration (on as little as 200ml), carbonated, DIC, and 13C labeling studies. Performance is optimized through the ability to analyze smaller sample sizes and to undertake multiple analyses from a single sample container, all under the extremely capable control of fully automated high throughput system.
