Determination of Total, Organic, and Inorganic Carbon and Total Nitrogen in Biological Cultures and Liquid Fraction Process Samples: Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP): Issue Date: December 31, 2020; Revision Date: November 1, 2023

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP) describes the quantitative determination of total organic carbon, inorganic carbon in whole suspended biological samples and in the cell-free supernatant, by combustion and CO2 detection with a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detector. This allows for distinct reporting of soluble and insoluble organic and inorganic carbon. In addition, this procedure covers the quantitative determination of soluble nitrogen in the cell-free supernatant.
