The Chemical Analysis of Fresh Water
The document provides detailed standard operating procedures for the chemical analysis of freshwater, focusing on micronutrients and aquatic productivity. It covers the measurement of anions, cations, carbon speciation, nitrogen and phosphorus speciation, chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, and soluble reactive silicon. The guide details labware cleaning, calibration of balances and pipettes, sample preparation using 1.2 µm GF/C filters, and the use of the Sample Master® Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for data tracking and validation. It also specifies protocols for outsourced analyses conducted at the University of Alberta's Biogeochemical Analytical Service Laboratory.
