Elemental analyses in solid and aqueous samples

Contents of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) and sulfur (S) are determined in biological tissue, soil and aqueous samples based on “dynamic flash combustion” combined with gas chromatography.

 
The analyses are fully automated with a detection limit of ca. 20 microgram of element per sample. The elemental analysis can be combined with analysis for stable isotope contents (13C, 14N, 18O and 34S). Dissolved nitrogen (ammonium, nitrite and nitrate) and total nitrogen are analyzed in water, waste water and soil extracts by Autoanalyzer (chemical reaction combined with spectrophotometry).
