Customer Spotlight: Verdant Carbon, UK

The firm is working in partnership with a leading UK agricultural research organisation to help further shared knowledge of soils, a vital but poorly understood requirement for life. In order to support this work, the Verdant Carbon team wants to continue developing its laboratory facilities on a continuous basis, and has invested in an enhanced carbon analysis platform from Elementar to further this goal.

Elementar’s soli TOC® cube was referenced in several academic papers we read while reviewing soil carbon analysis, and was highlighted as one of the most accurate ways to measure carbon in samples.
