Carbon Analysis
The HPLC Group uses a Shimadzu TOC-VCPN system with autosampler capabilities for measuring total carbon (TC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), total organic carbon (TOC), and non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC) on liquid samples. Detection limits are around 0.5ppm.

The UIC Coulometrics TC/TIC system has similar capabilities for soil or solid samples. For low TIC samples, TOC is measured directly by acidification of the samples before analysis.
