Oceamo Lab ICP-MS Test

The new benchmark in seawater analysis

• High sensitivity to trace elements and pollutants by ICP mass spectroscopy (unique in Europe)
• Extremely extensive Procedures performed in addition to ICP-MS: ion chromatography, KH titration, salinity measurement, photometric phosphate measurement.
• Personal advice
• Sampling optimized for ICP-MS

ICP-MS (ICP with mass spectrometry) is significantly more sensitive, and offers up to10000 times lower detection limits as ICP-OES. This results in the following advantages:

• Important trace elements can be reliably measured in the relevant concentration range. This is a great advantage, especially for the measurement of selenium, chromium, cobalt, copper and nickel. Many of these elements can be OES can only be measured when they are elevated.
• Using ICP-MS, we can also reliably diagnose a deficiency of these elements.
• Toxic heavy metals (such as mercury, thallium, bismuth, lead, thorium, uranium, …) can already be reliably detected in very low concentrations.
• And thus long before problems are caused in the tank.
• The measurement of other elements (such as cesium, tellurium, cerium and ruthenium)is enabled by ICP-MS.
• The sensitive measurement of trace elements also makes it possible to adjust the ultra-trace elements in a targeted manner.
