A couple of weeks ago, Dr. Ault and I traveled to Fenton, Michigan to pick up our new Mobile Lab trailer. The trailer is 8.5 ft x 20 ft long and will allow us to embark on field campaigns with all of our instrumentation!
The first field study planned with the mobile lab will be to the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) this July. Next winter, another field study to Kalamazoo, Michigan is planned.
Some of the instrumentation that will be aboard include:
Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (ATOFMS)
Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (CIMS)
Ambient Ion Monitor- Ion Chromatograph (AIM-IC)

| In addition to plenty of room for our instruments, the trailer also has a large amount of storage! |
We are looking forward to the currently planned field studies as well as future deployments of our mobile lab. This unique setup enables us to study atmospheric chemistry from a much different angle!
