Description

This lab analysis measures Nitrate (as N), Total Phosphorus (as P), and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN). Together, these parameters serve as a reliable indicator of a lake’s nutrient status and potential for algae and plant growth. Results are reported in parts per million (PPM), helping you assess the overall nutrient loading and eutrophication risk in a lake.

  • Nitrate (as N):  Methodology: EPA 300.0  MDL: 0.01 PPM  RL: 0.1 PPM    
  • Total Phosphorus: Methodology: EPA 365.1  MDL:0.008 PPM  RL:0.01 PPM
  • Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN): Methodology: EPA 351.2  MDL: 0.15 PPM  RL: 0.02 PPM   

What problem does this solve?

Testing for nitrate, total phosphorus, and TKN is one of the most effective ways to understand a lake’s nutrient status and risk of eutrophication. Elevated nutrient levels—particularly phosphorus and biologically available nitrogen—can fuel excessive algae and plant growth, leading to harmful algal blooms, reduced water clarity, and oxygen depletion.


Regular monitoring helps lake associations, homeowners, and lake managers identify nutrient loading trends, evaluate the impact of runoff, septic systems, or nearby development, and make informed decisions about preventative actions, in-lake treatments, and long-term lake health management.
