The Piston-Cylinders Have Arrived!!!

Its a super exciting day at UF. Our two end-loaded piston cylinder presses are now here!!! They were delivered yesterday from Rockland Research Corp. in New York and I can’t wait to get them setup! These will allow our research group to simulate conditions up to ~4 GPa in pressure and ~2000 C. The Experimental Geochemistry Lab is still being renovated, so the presses will have to hang out in their crates for a couple more months, but as the soon as the space is done, it’ll be time to rock and roll…
