Instrument: Total Organic Carbon Analyzer
A unit that accurately determines the carbon concentrations of organic compounds typically by detecting and measuring its combustion product (CO2). See description document at: http://bcodata.whoi.edu/LaurentianGreatLakes_Chemistry/bs116.pdf
TDN and DOC concentrations of 0.2 µm filtered water samples are processed at SkIO by the lab of Dr. Aron Stubbins using a Total Organic Carbon Analyzer with a Total Nitrogen Measuring Unit (TOC-V and TNM-I, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, ML, USA)
