Determination of Total Solids and Ash in Algal Biomass: Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP): Issue Date: December 2, 2013; Revision Date: December 29, 2015; Current Revision Date: November 1, 2023

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP) describes the methods used to determine the moisture-free total solids and ash content of a freeze-dried algal biomass sample. A traditional convection and vacuum oven drying procedure are included here for total solids content, and a dry oxidation method at 575 degrees C is covered for ash content.
