Experiment

Name: Nguyen Group_20211203_None_No Seed
Date: 2021-12-03

Organization
Nguyen Group

Chamber
Tran's big bag of air

Experiment Set
Ammonium sulfate + isoprene diol

Goals
This experiment serves as a control for experiments on 11/16/21 and 11/19/21, to examine the partitioning of species from chamber walls to the gas phase while lights are on and filter collection is in progress.

Summary
The chamber was humidified to ~80% RH. Filter collection proceeded for ~5 hours and gas phase species were measured. ~1 hour of data is missing mid-experiment due to CIMS pressure issues
