Nitrogen Analyses (7/27/2012)

Analyzed our samples for Nitrogen today! We tested specifically for ammonium (NH4+). Here are some of the pictures of us using the spectrometer on samples in the lab:




Basically, you add some reagents to each sample, let them sit for between one and twenty hours, and read their absorbance on a spectrometer at 630.0 nm. It went well! Glad that the spectrometer in our lab got fixed up- it's a great one!
