Carbon Analysis ServiceCarbon analysis is a method used to measure the total amount of carbon or different types of carbon in various materials. This involves determining total carbon (TC), total organic carbon (TOC), and total inorganic carbon (TIC). These measurements are essential for understanding how materials affect the environment, evaluating their carbon footprint, and assessing their potential for carbon storage or greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon analysis is commonly applied in environmental studies, material science, and industrial processes to meet environmental regulations and support sustainable practices.
Carbon analysis is based on the principles of elemental analysis, which entails transforming carbon within a sample into detectable forms, usually carbon dioxide (CO2). Combustion analysis is the most widely used technique, involving burning the sample in an oxygen-rich atmosphere and then measuring the produced CO2 through infrared detection or gas chromatography. Other approaches include coulometry, gravimetry, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy. Each method has its own advantages and limitations, but collectively they offer accurate carbon content measurements for diverse materials, ranging from organic substances to industrial products.

Total Carbon (TC) Analysis
Measures the combined amount of organic and inorganic carbon in a sample, providing a comprehensive understanding of the overall carbon content.
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analysis
Focuses on the organic fraction of carbon, which is crucial for understanding the biological and chemical properties of materials.
Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) Analysis
Quantifies the inorganic carbon content, primarily in the form of carbonates and bicarbonates, which is particularly relevant in geological and industrial applications.
Isotopic Carbon Analysis
Measures the ratios of different carbon isotopes (12C, 13C, and 14C) to trace carbon sources and study biogeochemical cycles.
Fractional Carbon Analysis
Detects different carbon fractions by varying combustion temperatures or using acidification techniques, providing detailed insights into the carbon composition of complex samples.
