We are measuring the concentration of dissolved substances and properties of environmental water samples using different laboratory and analytical techniques such as chromatography, photometry and titration. The samples that we can analyze can be freshwater from rivers or lakes, groundwater, seawater or interstitial water extracted from the pore space in sediments. Besides standard measurements, we can facilitate customized analytical solutions.

We can measure the (dissolved) concentrations of:

  • Total Carbon (TC)
  • Non-Purgeable Organic Carbon (NPOC) / Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC)
  • Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC)
  • Dissolved anions
  • Ammonia (NH4+), NOx (NO2 and NO3)
  • Alkalinity
  • Iron (Fe2+, Fe3+)
  • Silica (SiO2)
  • Sulfide (S2-)
