Types of Our Soil Analysis Services and Detailed Analysis Process
Creative Biolabs provides a diverse portfolio of soil analysis services, each designed to address specific needs across various industries. Our detailed analysis process ensures precision, reliability, and actionable results.
This service assesses the various polysaccharide content in soil, which is a key indicator of microbial activity, organic matter stability, and soil aggregation. We utilize advanced colorimetric or spectroscopic methods to quantify these complex carbohydrates.
-
Extraction: Soil samples are subjected to specific chemical extraction protocols to isolate polysaccharides while minimizing interference from other organic compounds.
-
Hydrolysis: The extracted polysaccharides are hydrolyzed into their constituent monosaccharides, making them amenable to quantification.
-
Quantification: Monosaccharides are then reacted with specific reagents to produce colorimetric compounds or are analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for precise quantification.
-
Data interpretation: Results are reported as total polysaccharide content and can be correlated with soil health parameters and microbial biomass.
This comprehensive service determines fundamental soil characteristics crucial for plant growth, water management, and structural integrity. It includes parameters like soil texture, pH, organic matter content, and electrical conductivity (EC).
This service focuses on quantifying the concentration of various elements, including essential trace elements and potentially toxic heavy metals, critical for environmental risk assessment and agricultural safety.
-
Digestion: Soil samples are thoroughly digested using strong acids (e.g., nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid) under controlled conditions to completely dissolve the metal-containing components.
-
Elemental analysis: The digested solution is then analyzed using highly sensitive techniques such as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) to quantify the precise concentration of each target element.
-
Reporting: Results are reported in parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) and compared against regulatory limits for heavy metals or optimal ranges for essential nutrients.
This service measures the activity of specific glycoproteinases or enzymes in soil, which are crucial indicators of microbial community function and nutrient cycling. It reflects the biological health and functional diversity of the soil ecosystem.

Published Data
This research investigates the long-term effects of diverse fertilization strategies on the intricate world of soil microorganisms and their associated enzymatic functions. Figure 1 graphically illustrates the maximum reaction rates (Vmax) for these tracked enzymes across various soil treatments. The experiment included soil treated with sewage sludge at standard (SF) and triple (SF3x) application rates, manure (MF), and inorganic NPK fertilizers, all compared against an unfertilized control (CF). The results showed that the activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAG) was consistently reduced in all fertilized plots relative to the control, with the most pronounced reductions observed in soils receiving either the standard or triple doses of sewage sludge. This visual representation effectively distinguishes the statistical differences in enzymatic performance among the different fertilization approaches, as indicated by distinct lettering signifying statistically significant variations. The figure provides a compelling insight into how different nutrient sources and their application rates can differentially impact specific enzymatic processes crucial for soil health.
