Certain elements may have to be excluded due to matrix interferences. Please contact the laboratory for the best digestion method for solid samples.

 

Multi-element screening is intended to provide information on which elements can be detected in a sample and on their approximate concentrations. In the screening a combination of ICP-AES and ICP-SFMS is used. About 70 elements are determined, partly by using "single-standard analysis". Multi-element screening can be used as a basis for selecting elements for subsequent quantitative analysis.




 
 
E-2a Metals in liquids (high purity reagents, acids, etc)
Al (0.1) As (0.01) B (2) Ba (0.002)
Ca (1) Cd (0.001) Co (0.002) Cr (0.01)
Cu (0.2) Fe (0.2) K (2) Mg (0.5)
Mn (0.01) Mo (0.04) Na (2) Ni (0.01)
P (0.3) Pb (0.01) S (2) Si (5)
Sr (0.003) Zn (0.05)    
Figures in brackets denote limits of quantification in µg/l for pure water. Minimum sample amount: 60 ml. Hydrofluoric-, nitric- and sulfuric acids can also be analyzed. Reporting limits depends on concentrations of acids etc. Contact the laboratory for a discussion.
 
E-2a may be supplemented with additional elements: Be, Li, Sn, Ti, U and V.
Special analysis can be made on other sample types with lower limits of quantification than specified in the packages Contact us for discussion.
 
 
E-2b Metals in solid chemicals (metal salts etc.)
Al (0.080) As (0.008) B (2) Ba (0.002)
Ca (0.8) Cd (0.0008) Co (0.002) Cr (0.008)
Cu (0.2) Fe (0.2) Hg (0.01) K (2)
Mg (0.4) Mn (0.008) Mo (0.003) Na (2)
Ni (0.008) P (0.2) Pb (0.008) S (2)
Si (4) Sr (0.02) Zn (0.04)  
Figures in brackets denote limits of quantification in mg/kg. Reporting limits can depend on type of the chemical analyzed.
 
E-2b may be supplemented with additional elements: Be, Li, Sn, Ti, U and V.
 
 
E-2c Chemicals for drinking water treatment
(FeCl3, Al2(SO4)3 etc.)
As (0.1)* Cd (0.01) Cr (0.1) Hg (0.04) Pb (0.1)
Figures in brackets denote limits of quantification in mg/kg.
* Reporting limit can depend on chloride content.
