ABSTRACT:
The organic content of a fluid is determined by: (a) reacting a sample of a fluid containing organic matter (such as viable biomass or soluble or insoluble organic compounds) with excess oxidizing agent; (b) permitting an enzyme catalyzed release of oxygen from any unreacted oxidizing agent; and (c) measuring the volume of oxygen liberated from the sample; wherein the volume of oxygen liberated provides a measure of the organic content of the fluid.
