Determination of Total Carbon and Nitrogen in Soil using the LECO CN828 and CN928
Measuring total carbon (TC) and total nitrogen (TN) in soil and plant materials is crucial for understanding nutrient cycles and soil health. These measurements provide insights into soil fertility, helping to optimize agricultural practices and improve crop yields. Additionally, accurate TC and TN data support environmental monitoring and sustainable land management by assessing the impact of agricultural activities on ecosystems.
In this webinar, we will explore the use of LECO CN828 and CN928 elemental analyzers for precise and efficient TC and TN quantification. These advanced instruments utilize high-temperature combustion with infrared and thermal conductivity detection to measure carbon and nitrogen content accurately. We’ll cover the complete analytical workflow, including sample preparation, calibration, and data interpretation.
