Digital Flame Analyzer (Cole-Parmer Model 2655-00)
Our lab utilizes the Digital Flame Analyzer for precise quantification of mineral elements such as sodium (Na) and potassium (K) in plant tissue samples. This instrument operates on the principle of flame photometry, where a sample solution is aspirated into a controlled flame, and the emitted light intensity at specific wavelengths is measured to determine ion concentration.
StellarNet SolarRad and SolarRad DSR spectro radiometer systems
To measure NIST-calibrated solar and artificial-light spectral irradiance across 300-1100 nm and 300-1700 nm, respectively, with real time UV-VIS-NIR coverage. These field ready systems integrate BLACK Comet and RED Wave spectrometers and include SpectraWiz software, battery operation, and USB connectivity for turfgrass and horticultural applications.
