Fraction analyzer: FRAN<\/h3>\n

We recently designed and prototyped, with the help of CZero Inc., an automatic instrument that can isolate the light particulate organic matter fraction. Although we are still undergoing tests, this is promising technology that can increase throughput and consistency while decreasing time and cost of density fractionation.<\/p>\n

13<\/sup>C and 15<\/sup>N <\/span>continuous labeling chamber<\/span><\/h3>\n

We designed and built a continuously 13<\/sup>C and 15<\/sup>N labeling chamber (further described on Jove website<\/a>). We commonly use it to produce homogeneously or differentially labeled plant material from a broad variety of species from trees to grasses and legumes. We typically target \u00a0a 4 atom % 13<\/sup>C label and a 7 atom % 15<\/sup>N label, and \u00a0have produced leaves, woody material, roots, root exudates, and biochar we use for our research or can produce for service.<\/p>\n
