Total carbon and total bound nitrogen analyses are available within the MAC lab. The available instrumentation can also differentiate organic carbon, inorganic carbon, and purgeable organic carbon. Filtration at 0.2 micron prior to analysis results in dissolved values. Measurement of the total bound nitrogen yields the sum of nitrate, nitrite, organic nitrogen, and ammonia.
Total and dissolved carbon: organic carbon, inorganic carbon
Total bound nitrogen (TNb)
| Internal/UA clients | External clients | |
| Single form of carbon/nitrogen (per sample) | $35 | $48 |
| Each additional form | $12.50 | $17 |
The costs shown above are estimates, and will be discussed and agreed upon prior to sample analysis.
