Laboratory (CAIRL) at the School of Plant, Environmental, and Soil
Sciences, is located in Room 312, Sturgis Hall, South Tower Drive, LSU
Campus, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The mission of CAIRL is to provide
research-oriented analytical services to the School faculty members,
other campus and branch station faculty members, as well as the general
public. The Laboratory performs analyses on water, plant digests, soil
extractions, and other environmental matrices. The CAIRL is committed
to QA/QC principles and practices that ensure the accuracy and
precision of results. While the analyses are performed primarily using
established routine methods, the Laboratory is also willing to adopt
novel methods to meet specific needs of clients on a case by case
basis.
