Chlorophyll a: The AQUA Lab extracts chlorophyll a pigments concentrated on filters using an ethanol extraction, and then measures chlorophyll a on a Turner 10-AU fluorometer. We use the Welschmeyer method, which uses specific filters that read chlorophyll a in the presence of chlorophyll b and pheophytins. Sample acidification is not necessary with this method.
