a swamp is a forested wetland and precious ecosystem at the interface between the atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere

The SWAMP Lab is an ultraclean research facility for studying trace metal cycling in Soils, Water, Air, Manures, and Plants

Element 2 XR sector-field ICP-MS for ultralow metal concentrations and stable Pb isotope ratios

ICAP-Q ICP-MS (L) for routine metal measurements and MLS Ultraclave (R) for high pressure and temperature acid digestion

The autosamplers for the ICP-MS instruments are housed in Class 100, metal-free, laminar flow clean air cabinets

MLS Duopur quartz (L) still for acid distillation and Trace Clean (R) for acid cleaning of plasticware

MilliQ water with dispenser in Class 100, metal-free, laminar flow, clean air cabinet
