Instruments

High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph

Supplied Name: High Performance Liquid Chromatography

Supplied Description:

Fluorescence high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure particulate amino acids

Instrument Type

Generic Name: High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph

Acronym: HPLC

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB11/

Generic Description:

A High-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) is a type of liquid chromatography used to separate compounds that are dissolved in solution. HPLC instruments consist of a reservoir of the mobile phase, a pump, an injector, a separation column, and a detector. Compounds are separated by high pressure pumping of the sample mixture onto a column packed with microspheres coated with the stationary phase. The different components in the mixture pass through the column at different rates due to differences in their partitioning behavior between the mobile liquid phase and the stationary phase.

Multiple Unit Large Volume Filtration System

Supplied Name: Multi Unit Large Volume Filtration System

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Multiple Unit Large Volume Filtration System

Acronym: MULVFS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/32/

Generic Description:

The Multiple Unit Large Volume Filtration System (MULVFS) was first described in Bishop et al., 1985 (doi: 10.1021/ba-1985-0209.ch009). The MULVFS consists of multiple (commonly 12) specialized particulate matter pumps, mounted in a frame and tethered to the ship by a cable (Bishop et al., 1985; Bishop and Wood, 2008). The MULVFS filters particulates from large volumes of seawater, although the exact protocols followed will vary for each project.
