A clean
preparation room is equipped with HEPA-filtered air, positive air pressure,
Barnstead Ropure ST Reverse Osmosis unit, a laminar flow work station, laminar
flow exhausting hood, and a acid-resistant hood. This space is used primarily
for digestion or sequential extraction of solids.
The lab is also
equipped with a Zeiss Photomicroscope III, complete with both transmitted and
reflected light.
