• How physics discovered TOC
  

  The determination of algal biomass using TOC is a new method that has proven to be highly suitable in a laboratory environment for the measurement of biomass yield in photobioreactors and for the monitoring of algal growth. In combination with other sensors, additional information on the condition of the algae can be obtained. In addition, this method can be easily modified and applied for the investigation of (micro)algal pollution in lake water more
