Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP-OES & ICP-AES) Testing Services

Elemental and Trace Metals Analysis

Impact Analytical provides trace metals and ultra-trace elemental analysis services using state-of-the-art inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (commonly known as ICP-OES and ICP-AES). ICP-OES analysis is an excellent technique for identifying and quantifying elemental constituents in various sample matrices including polymers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, solutions, plastics, metals, and consumer products. Our new in-house ICP-OES capabilities translate into a quicker turnaround and faster data for you.

By performing ICP-OES testing on your material, we can provide accurate and precise detection of low level trace metals to meet your data requirements. Our sample preparation techniques coupled with our new ICP-OES instrument allow us to achieve the performance of an ICP-MS, at reduced cost. We offer full sample digestion capabilities, including the use of a microwave digestor for hard-to-digest materials.
