THE NUTRITIVOROUS FERNANDO

 

Another passion of Fernando is to analyze nutrients in the waters of the Atlantic that are used to know where the origin of the water masses that swarm in the broad o´cean.

 

The Pole: Starting grid of the tubes where samples are taken for nutrients from the famous Rosita.

 

This was the market... State remaining the gloves after their use during sampling to prevent contamination of samples of nitrate, phosphate and silicate.

 

The 3 graduated: Until the Rosita comes from the seabed, the reagents are prepared for nutrient analysis.

 

No try with Alonso:  Fernando placed tubes in the autosampler (up) and turns the engines of the equipment SKALAR (not skalextric) that determines the nutrient concentrations by a colorimetric method (below).
