Instrument Sign-Up

Reserving time for running instruments is required on most of our instruments, and should be done well in advance as some of our instruments can be in high demand.

At the moment, EcoCore provides sign-up sheets next to a number of high-demand instruments:

  • LECO CN elemental analyzer
  • Shimadzu TOC/TN analyzer
  • Alpkem Flow Solution IV Automated wet chemistry system
  • All of our Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS)
  • Lyophilizer
  • LI-COR Infrared gas analyzer
  • Muffle furnace


For our Delta V IRMS (with PreCon and GC-Isolink), we have an online sign-up calendar. Please contact Dan Reuss (Daniel.Reuss@Colostate.edu) for access.

We anticipate having online sign-up calendars for a number of other instruments in the near future. Please follow our news updates for more information.

In the meantime, please contact lab management for reserving time on our instruments:
