(LA)-ICP-MS/OES

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is a highly sensitive material analysis technique that can provide quantitative results for elements and different isotopes in samples at the nanogram per liter level.

X-Ray Analysis

X-ray techniques such as XRF can provide qualitative and quantitative information on many samples down to the nanogram per gram level. It is well-suited for routine analysis due to its modest operating costs.

Optical Atomic Spectroscopy

Various techniques such as Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy or Atomic absorption/emission spectroscopy are common techniques for quantifying metals in a wide variety of liquids and solids. These instruments are suited for general use as they have low operating costs and are relatively easy to operate.
