ANALYSIS
METAL CONCENTRATION

We have a MP-AES 4210 Agilent Technologies that allows us to determine the concentration of different metals in a liquid, paste or solid products. The equipment has a detection limit below ppm (10-6) and about ppb (10-9). 

We do have the expertise on analyzing the metal concentration of different paints and inks for the precious metal decoration, but the equipment can be used for analyzing trace metals or metal content on a very broad range of products.

To analyze the concentration of the different metals on the product, it needs to be previously digested with the appropriate acids. We do also have the expertise on doing the digestion of the sample, and we offer that service.

GEOCHEMICAL

  • Geochemical samples in aqua regia digests
  • Trace elements in geological samples
  • Trace level gold in cyanide leach
  • Analysis of high purity gold
  • Platinum group elements in ore grade material
  • Various elements in plating solutions

CHEMICAL & PETROCHEMICAL

  • Additives in lubricating oils
  • Wear metal contaminants in used oils
  • Analysis of coolant
  • Analysis of petroleum and diesel fuel
    – Determination of Cr, Ni, Pb and V in ethanol fuel
    – Determination of Ca, Mg, Na and K in Diesel and Biodiesel
  • Major elements in polymers

FOOD & AGRICULTURE

  • Major elements in foods, beverages and agricultural samples
  • Cations in soils
  • Nutrients in soils
  • Metals in soils extracts
  • Metals in agricultural soil samples

ENVIRONMENTAL

  • Hg, Pb, Cd and Cr in electronics and plastics (for WEEE/RoHs compliance)
  • Heavy metals in soils
  • As, Sb, Se in sediments and waste
  • Analysis of waste waters, sediments and soils

 

In our daily base, we are analyzing the following elements:

Al, Au, B, Bi, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hf, In, Ni, Os, Pb, Pd, Pt, Rh, Si, Sn, Ti, V, Zn, Zr

Nevertheless, these are just some of the overall elements that can be analyzed in the MP-AES. We could measure most of the metals or elements. If the metal or metals that you are interested in are not in the list, please let us know because we may have the standard or get it if you are interested in measuring it.
