The analysis is carried out using the Apollo SciTECH AS-ALK2 analyzer. A known volume of sample is titrated with Hydrochloric Acid to pH3
see method reference
Data reduction and analysis follows “Recommended Best Practice” guidelines (see method reference)

The analysis is carried out using the Apollo SciTECH AS-C3 analyzer. A known volume of sample is acidified with phosphoric acid in a sealed chamber, sparged with Nitrogen gas and CO2 is measured in the effluent gas-stream with a non dispersive infrared analyser (LiCOR; model LI7000).
