Analytical Labs

Environmental Analytical Research Laboratory (EARL)

EARL is located on the 3rd floor of Leonard Hall at the UND campus and houses some advanced analytical instruments including;

  • DIONEX DX-120 Ion Chromatograph (IC)
  • Agilent 5110 ICP-OES
  • SHIMADZU Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (TOC)
  • Ancillary equipment to support teaching, scientific research and engineering design projects.

EARL EQUIpMENT

Advanced UAV and Satellite Materials Characterization Lab

This specialized lab focuses on characterizing materials used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and satellites. The emphasis is on lightweight, high-strength materials, and the lab might use similar techniques to those in the Advanced Materials Characterization Lab but with a focus on aerospace applications.

Techniques could include:

  • Thermal Analysis
  • Mechanical Testing (e.g., tensile, compression, and fatigue testing)
  • Chemical composition
  • Crystalline Structural Analysis
  • Surface Analysis

USMCL EQUIPMENT

Materials Characterization Lab (MCL)

The MCL was established to support UND research and educational activities, to support industry research and sample analysis needs, and to serve as a regional satellite lab. The laboratory is supported by experienced technicians and analytical chemists and has a vast array of analytical equipment and capabilities, including;

  • SEM-EDAX
  • XRF
  • XRD
  • TGA
  • AFM
  • Raman microscope

The MCL will be used to examine the OC particle morphology and composition and to determine particle-size distribution
