SREL's main facility consists of a 45,000 ft. building with offices, general and specialized laboratories, meeting rooms, computer center, distance learning center and library.
Facilities in this complex include:
(1) Safety and quality assurance offices that oversee programs that meet all applicable UGA requirements.
(2) A new molecular ecology laboratory with capabilities for research and development in all aspects of RNA, DNA and protein chemistry and function.
(3) Advanced analytical instrumentation, including the following capabilities:
Spectroscopy (atomic absorption, UV-VIS, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared, Fourier transform Raman, radionuclide (alpha, beta and gamma), liquid chromatography (anion, LC), imaging microscopies (FTIR and Raman, fluorescence, atomic force), thermal analysis (HR-thermogravimetric, differential scanning calorimetry), solid material characterization (surface area analysis), isotope ratio mass spectrometry (Finnigan DeltaplusXL capable of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine and bromine isotope ratio measurements on gases, liquids and solids) with EA, TC/EA. Gasbench II, and GC-C peripheral devices; elemental analysis (combustion and pyrolysis), high resolution physical separations (flow-through ultra centrifuge, Field Flow Fractionation, Merchantek Micromill), dissolved elemental characterization (ICP-DRC-MS and ICP-OES), a laser ablation peripheral device for ICP-MS and IRMS analysis, X-ray diffractometry, various GC and GC-MS instruments (FID, TCD and electron capture detectors) and purge and trap, fraction collector and head space peripheral devices.
The stable isotope facilities at UG-SREL are supervised by Professor Chris Romanek.
