Chlorophyll a Analysis Service
- Sample Type: Water samples, soil samples, plant tissue samples, etc.
- Sample Storage: Samples should be stored under dark, refrigerated conditions, and be sent to us as quickly as possible to ensure sample quality.
Chlorophyll a is the primary photosynthetic pigment in organisms, found in plants, algae, and some protozoa. It is key to photosynthesis, absorbing light energy and converting it into chemical energy to drive photosynthesis. Moreover, by measuring and analyzing the content of chlorophyll a, the health status of the ecological environment can be effectively evaluated and monitored, as the content of chlorophyll a can reflect the photosynthetic activity and productivity of the ecosystem.
