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.

Note: These tests are mailed out to Austria on Mondays. Please ensure that these are delivered to the address on the packaging by Friday the week before. Shipping to the address on the packaging is not covered by us. The customer is responsible for shipping the tests back to the address on the packaging.
