Trace Metals Analysis by ICP-MS

Our lab uses ICP-MS to achieve ppt-level detection limits and multi-element quantification, even in complex sample matrices. Methods are validated or in active alignment with EPA 200.8, EPA 6020B, and EPA 3050B/3051A, using closed-vessel microwave digestion and advanced interference removal to produce clean, accurate results.

Capabilities Overview
  • Multi-element analysis covering trace to major concentrations
  • Suitable for aqueous, organic, and solid sample matrice
  • Closed-vessel microwave digestion for complete sample dissolution without HF
  • Advanced interference removal using collision/reaction cell technology
  • Comprehensive data packages for regulatory, QC, and R&D needs

Sample Handling

To help ensure accurate results, please follow these sample collection and shipping guidelines:

Collect and ship samples in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene container. Glass containers should not be used, as glass can leach or adsorb trace metals and affect analytical results.
Please do not add any acid or preservative to the sample. Our laboratory applies the appropriate preservation method upon receipt.
Ship samples promptly via same-day or overnight service. Prompt shipment helps preserve sample integrity and supports the most reliable results.
A minimum sample volume of 300 mL is required.
