SEAL Analytical AA3
Continuous segmented-flow colorimetry for automated marine and freshwater nutrient analysis.
Role in the facility
The AA3 is one of two five-channel continuous segmented-flow analyzers in the Nutrient Analytical Facility. It automates colorimetric chemistry and optical detection across a sequence of samples, standards, blanks, and quality-control materials.

Current nutrient suite
The facility reports nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicic acid, and ammonium. Instrument assignment, calibration range, method details, quality-control acceptance, and reporting limits depend on the run and should be confirmed with facility staff.
