Lab facility
Our working group provides a modern, well equipped and safety chemical-analytical laboratory for the handling of hazardous substances, in particular hydrofluoric acid.
The following analytical methods are applied:
- Pollen analysis (modified version) according to Faegri & Iversen (1989) of fossil and recent material
- Diatom preparation after Battarbee (1986) and permanent slides (Naphrax©)
- Pretreatment of sediment samples for pollen separation by flow cytometry
