VERY low parts per million detection of 67 different elements is available in a new service from Warwick Analytical Service (WAS).
The Quantitative ICP-Scan is said to be “competitively priced and a great starting point in determining elemental sample composition”. The 67 elements covered by this proprietary WAS ICP methodology range from silver (Ag) through to zirconium (Zr).
The service provides information on elements present at 10-100 ppm right up to greater than 1% w/w. Measured intensities are compared to intensities of traceable standards to obtain the elemental levels in the unknown sample. Multiple wavelengths have been identified for each element to avoid errors due to the spectral interferences commonly found when using only a single analytical wavelength.
WAS says it operates in an ISO 17025- and GMP-compliant environment following strict operating procedures, delivering top quality ICP data consistently.
