The Stable Isotope/Soil Biology Laboratory of the University of Georgia Institute of Ecology offers a wide variety of analytical services to researchers associated with any bona-fide nonprofit research organization.

We are now accepting samples for total organic carbon analysis (TOC) on the laboratory's new Shimadzu TOC-5000A
Total Organic Carbon Analyzer with ASI-5000A Auto Sampler.
Standard runs indicate detection limits are within 10 parts per billion for low concentration level-high sensitivity analysis. Sample throughput is greatly increased with the addition of the ASI-5000A Auto Sampler. For samples with concentrations greater than 1 part per million, up to 70 samples may be analyzed per day. For more information please send an e-mail message or phone (706) 542-6023.
