Water and Environmental Testing

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analysis

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analysis is a critical scientific service that provides a quantitative measurement of the total amount of carbon in organic compounds present in a sample. This analysis is essential in various industries and applications, including environmental monitoring, pharmaceuticals, and water quality testing, to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and maintain product or environmental quality.

The process involves oxidizing the organic carbon in the sample to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), which is then measured to determine the TOC content. The accuracy and reliability of TOC Analysis are paramount, as they directly impact decision-making processes related to product release, environmental safety, and quality control.

At NASAT Labs, our TOC Analysis service is executed with the utmost precision and attention to detail. Our team of skilled analysts employs rigorous methodologies to ensure that every sample is processed with the highest level of accuracy. We understand the importance of this analysis to our clients, and we are dedicated to providing results that they can trust for their critical operations.

Mercury Detection

Mercury Analysis is an essential scientific procedure that carefully measures the amount of mercury in environmental samples. This process is crucial for maintaining ecological balance and ensuring public safety by adhering to health standards. The analysis involves a series of steps, including the collection of samples from various sources, their preparation for testing, and the precise measurement of mercury using specialized instruments. This helps in identifying any harmful mercury levels that could potentially impact human health and the environment.

Light Quality Measurement for Crop Research and Production

Measurements of light quality provide insights on Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), as well as color-specific photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), photon flux density (PFD), irradiance (W/m2), and more. This data will help you in your research ranging from different environments such as greenhouses, under plant canopies, or in growth chambers—for most broad-spectrum light sources, including natural sunlight, artificial, or mixed sources.  With this, you may shorten production time, improving yield quality, and lastly, enhance disease resistance.

Water Hardness

Water hardness is the sum of the calcium and magnesium concentrations in the water. Hard water is high in dissolved minerals, largely calcium and magnesium. Water hardness is expressed as mg/L hardness as calcium carbonate. It is usually measured in industries because water hardness affects chemical reactions, industrial processes, and health considerations (for drinking water).

Turbidity

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid which is a measure of water quality. It is a reduction in water clarity/transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates. This is usually measured to determine the optical property of solutions as it causes light to be scattered and absorbed rather than transmitted in straight lines through a sample.

Alkalinity

Alkalinity is a measure of the acid-neutralizing capacity of water and is measured by titrating the solution with an acid (ex. H2SO4) until it reaches a known endpoint wherein its pH changes abruptly. Alkalinity of wastewater is measured as it affects biological processes and chemical reactions.
