Geochemical laboratory

About the lab

In our laboratory, we perform mineralization of sediment samples using concentrated acids, determine the content of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur in sediments, conduct pigment analyses using spectrophotometry, and analyze nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in water samples.
