Elemental analysis of water with ICP-MS

Determination of Be, Ba, Co, Al, Mg, Cu, Li, Mn, Ag, Sn, Ti, V, Zn, Tl, B, Hg, Mo, Fe, Ca, K, U, P, Cd, Na, Cr, Ni, Pb, Sb, As, and Se in water samples with ICP-MS-technique.

The sample is homogenized and acidified (HNO3), after which the analysis is performed from the liquid phase.

The displayed price applies to natural waters. (for example, river or lake water) If the sample contains a lot of solids or the matrix is significantly different from natural water (for example, wastewater and industrial waters), different analysis methods need to be used.

The concentration of each element is reported in µg/l.
