EN 16161:2012 (E) 4 Introduction Surveys of chlorophyll and nutrient concentration are fundamental descriptors of primary productivity and eutrophic threat in coastal and inland waters. Chlorophyll-a concentration can be determined by sampling and laboratory analysis using the techniques described in ISO 10260. Achieving consistent results with this technique requires careful attention during the various steps of the process commonly used, such as during sampling, transport, filtering, freezing, storage and extraction and subsequent pigment estimation. The in vivo technique described here can be applied to surveys where a rapid non-destructive and repeatable measurement capability is required. It can be used either in the field or laboratory. No chemicals are required. Utilised in association with other methods of chlorophyll-a determination such as ISO 10260, HPLC pigment analysis and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements techniques, it can help identify sources of inconsistency or be used as an alternative technique in its own right. As chlorophyll-a estimates can be achieved in times as short as one minute, the technique can enhance surveying capability considerably. This standard describes procedures to implement and verify performance. SIST EN 16161:2013

3.8 spectrum set of data of a sample taken over a defined wavelength range and by a defined resolution
3.9 wavelength range range from minimum to maximum wavelength over which a spectrum is described 4 Principle The in vivo photometric absorption technique (IVP) is based on: a) the additive nature of absorption of individual constituents within a suspension; b) the use of a priori knowledge about the absorption features of chlorophyll-a in the wavelength area of approximately 675 nm; c) the absence of other components interfering with spectral features of chlorophyll-a in this region; d) the use of a measurement cell (a cuvette or other sample receptacle) of sufficient length and spectrophotometer of sufficient performance to enable the absorption feature of chlorophyll-a to be identified at the concentration levels required; e) the availability of a suitable algorithm to identify and quantify the distinctive chlorophyll-a absorption feature within a spectral absorption measurement. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Spectrophotometer, or equivalent, with the capability to determine the absorption spectrum of an in situ sample of water. The spectral measuring instrument shall be capable of measuring the absorption of the sample in a range between 600 nm and 750 nm with a resolution better than 10 nm. The data capture is carried out in measuring intervals of 5 nm or smaller. SIST EN 16161:2013
EN 16161:2012 (E) 7 NOTE For example, a spectrophotometer with 2 nm resolution requires the ability to sense changes in absorption around 675 nm of 0,020 3 m-1 in order to sense 1 µg/l of chlorophyll-a. 5.2 Datum, consisting of the unit response spectrum for chlorophyll-a absorption ()λsa in the region around 675 nm for the spectrophotometer in use. See Annex B for suggested methods of determining this. 5.3 Mathematical routine, capable of determining the quantity C of unit chlorophyll-a spectra present in the sample spectrum.
6 Procedure 6.1 Calibration The reference spectrum should be recorded with a sample of water which is free of constituents with absorption effects likely to mimic or interfere with chlorophyll-a absorption spectral features in the 650 nm to 710 nm region. This measurement should be stored as a system reference spectral signal of the water Iw(). The temperature of the reference water sample should not differ more than around 10 °C from that of the samples to avoid affecting chlorophyll estimation results at the 1 µg/l level. If the same measurement cell is used for successive samples, the measuring chamber should be flushed to remove influences of previous measurements before the next measurement (see 6.3). This is particularly necessary in cases where a flow-through measurement cell is utilised. Persistent positive residual chlorophyll-a measurements on clean water samples indicate window fouling by chlorophyllous material. Either the measurement cell should be cleaned or the effects of the persistent fouling should be zeroed out by taking a new clean water reference spectrum.
Water free of chlorophyll-a can be generated by filtering drinking water through a pore size of 0,1 µm. For the measurement of samples with high content of dissolved salts or colour (especially high content of humic substances), a representative water sample can be filtered for use as reference. When a measurement cell is emptied there is often a residue. In practice, the number of flushes recommended should be sufficient to bring verification of zero measurements to within two standard deviations of zero. If a significant positive residue persists, this might indicate window fouling and either a new reference clean water sample should be taken or the measurement cell should be cleaned. EXAMPLE A sample of clean water free of chlorophyll inserted after a measurement of a sample with 100 µg/l of chlorophyll-a may record a residual chlorophyll-a concentration of 2 µg/l, or a 2 % residual. Two flushes should reduce this to 2 % of 2 % or 0,04 % and three flushes to 0,008 %.
The effect of temperature difference on the system algorithm can be checked by repeating measurements on one sample using different reference water or sample water temperatures. Such effects arise because of small changes in the absorption of pure water with temperature. These changes are well described in the literature [15] and can influence the curvature of an absorption spectrum near 675 nm. The influence of the temperature and the salinity differences between the spectrum of the sample and reference spectrum shall be considered if concentrations around or below 1 µg/l need to be determined accurately. These changes are well described in the literature [15] and can influence the shape of an absorption spectrum near 675 nm. 6.2 Blank Measurement For any instrument system, the standard deviation of the determination of C in a series of measurements on a clean water sample should be determined by statistical methods. This will indicate the contribution of instrument and algorithm fitting noise to the determination of minimum detectable chlorophyll concentration. For each new reference water, a second measurement of that water used as a sample to determine estimated chlorophyll C should be made. This estimate should not exceed ± two standard deviations of zero for the SIST EN 16161:2013
EN 16161:2012 (E) 8 instrument. If this is not the case, flushing, calibration (6.1) and blank measurement (6.2) should be repeated until this condition is fulfilled. Further clean samples based on the same reference water should also meet this condition in > 95 % of the measurements. 6.3 Sample measurement Load and measure the sample. After filling the well-mixed sample in the measuring chamber, the transmitted light signal Is(λ) should be measured within one minute to avoid mistakes which are caused by sedimentation of algal cells Care should be taken to include appropriate flushing operations when successive samples show substantially decreasing chlorophyll-a concentrations or turbidity effects. The chlorophyll-a estimate should be calculated from Is(λ),Iw(λ), and d to yield ()λsa (see Formula (1)). When carried out using a curve fitting algorithm, the system unit chlorophyll-a response should be used and a modelled absorption should be adjusted to fit the measurement ()λsa. The value of C, the concentration of chlorophyll-a in the model at time of fit, is the system output. The sample spectrum and other information derived from it (dissolved organic matter, DOM, total visible absorption, etc.) can then be computed and recorded. 7 Calculation and Expression of Results 7.1 General The inclusion of some or all of the effects of scattering can be tolerated. A sample absorption spectrum should be recorded according to Formula (1): ()()()()()()λλλwssln1IIda−= (1) where ()λsa is the sample absorption spectrum (m-1); sI
is the signal observed through the sample; wI
the signal observed through clean water, free of chlorophyll; d
is the optical path length of the light through the sample, in metres (m). 7.2 Datum The datum describes the unit response spectrum for chlorophyll-a absorption ()λchla in the region around 675 nm for the spectrophotometer in use. See Annex B for suggested methods of determining this and Annex D for examples. A multiple of the datum of chlorophyll-a should be recorded according to Formula (2): ()()010chlλλλ−+=aaa (2) where ()λchla is the unit response spectrum for chlorophyll-a absorption effective over a range of wavelengths from approximately 600 nm to 710 nm.
SIST EN 16161:2013
EN 16161:2012 (E) 9 7.3 Mathematical routine
The mathematic routine used shall be capable of determining the quantity C of unit chlorophyll-a spectra present in the sample spectrum. For example, a minimisation routine capable of finding the best fit between a sample absorption spectrum ()λsa and the model spectrum ()()λλλchl010acaa×+−+, by varying C until sample and model spectra have minimum differences over the range 650 nm to 710 nm (see Annex E). 7.4 Other factors influencing the chlorophyll-a estimation The following differences that may arise should be assessed:
a) breakdown pigments with similar spectral features; b) the package effect; c) the presence of other pigments whose absorption features extend to some extent into the 675 nm region; principally phycocyanin and chlorophyll-b. The effects that these factors can have on a measurement are described in Annex C. NOTE This method yields an estimate based on the chlorophyll-a-like absorption feature at 675 nm as it appears in vivo. This is not necessarily the same as the chlorophyll-a absorption effect produced by the chlorophyll-a molecules alone when extracted from the in vivo cells. While this in vivo estimate is a good measure of the effective solar harvesting capability of the chlorophyll-a within the cell at the time of measurement, the differences that may arise when compared with extracted chlorophyll-a estimates should be clearly understood.
8 Quality Assurance 8.1 Repeatability The absorption characteristics may change if the samples remain in the measuring chamber for a longer time (e.g., with multiple measurements, by sedimentation, agglomeration or buoyancy of algae cells). Therefore, the measuring cell should be equipped with a stirrer; or else the measuring chamber shall be filled again after each single measurement. 8.2 Uncertainty The measurements should be accompanied by a statement of uncertainty, prepared by taking full account of natural factors which may influence or interfere with the estimation. Uncertainty estimation requires clear identification of:
a) the measurand, and
b) the uncertainty sources in accordance with ENV 13005.
Once the uncertainty sources are identified, they should be quantified and combined into a total uncertainty.
NOTE 1 Further useful guides to the estimation of uncertainty can be found in the bibliography, [13] and [14]. The measurand here is the chlorophyll-a estimate. Tracing backwards, the main sources of uncertainty are: 1) the uncertainty of the performance of the mathematical algorithm in determining the concentration C of chlorophyll-a, i.e. in determining the amplitude of the system unit chlorophyll-a response present in the measured absorption spectrum; 2) the uncertainty in determining the system unit chlorophyll-a response from the a priori unit chlorophyll-a response (Annex A) which is used in 1 above; SIST EN 16161:2013
EN 16161:2012 (E) 10 NOTE 2 Annex A contains the specific chlorophyll-a absorption spectrum for a high resolution instrument. This uncertainty is associated with the process described in Annex B for converting the high resolution specific chlorophyll-a absorption spectrum into a system-related specific chlorophyll-a absorption spectrum for a reduced resolution system. 3) the uncertainty arising from temperature or salinity difference between reference water and sample water [15]; 4) the additional uncertainty arising from the loss of signal to noise in the case of high turbidity water; 5) the uncertainty arising if the Beer-Lambert Law linearity no longer applies; 6) the uncertainty arising from spectrometer relative spectral absorption calibration in the 675 nm region; 7) the uncertainty arising from spectrometer wavelength calibration in the 675 nm region; 8) any uncertainty arising from non-uniformity or settling of sample; 9) uncertainty arising from knowledge of cell path length. Uncertainty 1 above may be established by statistical methods. Uncertainties 2 to 9 may be quantified by measurement and modelling. The expanded uncertainty should be determined from these by the root sum of squares of individual uncertainties and quoted as an expanded uncertainty using a coverage factor multiplier of 2 representing uncertainty at the 95 % level. NOTE 3
An entire assessment of uncertainty of the determination of the chlorophyll a concentration of a water sample also requires the inclusion of the uncertainties derived from sampling, storage and sampling handling, etc. NOTE 4 Taylor and Kuyatt, NIST 1994 [16] describe the combination by the root sum of squares of individual uncertainties as the ‘combined standard uncertainty’. A measure of uncertainty that defines an interval about the measurement result in which the value of the measurand is confidently believed to lie is termed the ‘expanded uncertainty’ and is obtained by multiplying the combined standard uncertainty by a coverage factor. In the case of a normal distribution, a coverage factor of 2 describes an interval having a level of confidence of approximately 95 %. Coverage factors between 2 and 3 can be used. The uncertainty reported should clearly state either the combined standard uncertainty or the expanded uncertainty and the coverage factor.

Determination of the appropriate chlorophyll-a specific spectral absorption coefficient for the IVP system The following two separate specific absorption coefficients have been much studied in open ocean science:
a) the specific absorption coefficients of individual pigments, such as chlorophyll a, b and c, and
b) the chlorophyll weight-specific absorption coefficients of algae, aph.
There have been many studies published showing how aph can be derived from the sum of the coefficients of individual pigments, using laboratory derived (HPLC) individual pigment concentrations to spectrally reconstruct composite absorption spectra, (or the reverse, where algal absorption spectra are spectrally decomposed int
