Customer Testimonial: LABOSOL

Five people in a laboratory listen to a presenter in a white lab coat with the Skalar logo, surrounded by lab equipment.

The Partner: Labosol

Labosol is a laboratory dedicated to the preservation and agronomic improvement of soils. Their mission is to provide high-quality analysis solutions to their customers and partners, focusing on the essential role of soils in the fight against global warming and the protection of healthy soils for future generations.

The Challenge: Beyond Basic Carbon Analysis

To support the fight against climate change, Labosol required a solution that could not only quantify carbon but also characterize soil organic matter in detail. The goal was to better identify the role of soils as carbon sinks through advanced analytical methods and compliance with DIN standards.

The Solution: Skalar PRIMACS™ SNC 100

Labosol integrated the Skalar PRIMACS™ SNC 100-IC-E analyzer into their workflow. This advanced combustion system is equipped with the latest technologies for the quantification of carbon and nitrogen. Specifically, it enables Labosol to perform temperature gradient fractionation, allowing them to run DIN standards with precision.

Key Analytical Capabilities

By utilizing temperature gradient analysis, the laboratory has moved beyond basic Total Carbon analysis. They can now precisely differentiate and quantify:

  • TOC (Total Organic Carbon)

  • ROC (Residual Oxidizable Carbon)

  • TIC (Total Inorganic Carbon)

The Outcome & Impact

The implementation of the Primacs system has opened new ways for Labosol to quantify and characterize soil organic matter. This ensures the highest level of data insight for their soil and solid waste samples, directly contributing to their commitment to environmental preservation.

"The entire Labosol team is proud to present its new measuring instrument... it opens a new way to quantify and characterize the organic matter of soils. It helps to better identify the role of soils as carbon sinks, to support the fight against global warming and to pass on healthy soils to future generations." — Labosol Team

Partnering for Success

The project was supported by David Duval and the Skalar team, ensuring a smooth installation and comprehensive training session. Skalar is proud to support Labosol in their vital mission of agronomic improvement and climate action.
