In recent years, trace element analysis has gained importance as the functions of trace elements in different fields are understood. The role of trace elements in biological systems is quite complex in that they contain a large number of beneficial, harmful or toxic trace elements for plants and animals. While the deficiency of essential trace elements causes various diseases, the presence of excessive amounts has a toxic effect. Some elements have a relatively narrow range of useful optimum concentrations, while others may be wide. Again, the effects of trace elements on the human body and metabolism have made the determination of trace elements even more important. For these reasons, trace element analyzes are carried out in many fields and studies in this field continue. ICP-MS is used for simultaneous analysis of heavy metals in very low concentrations such as ppb (one part per billion), ppt (one per trillion) in the environment, food, water and wastewater, minerals, soils, metallurgical samples and biological fluids. ICP-MS is a very sensitive and fast analysis method.

Sample Applications:

* Determination of trace impurities (Na, Mg, Al, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, As....etc) in Nitric Acid (HNO3) * Determination of trace elements (B, Na, Mg, Al, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu....etc) in drinking water samples

* Determination of trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Sb, Pb) in soil and sediment samples

* Determination of trace elements in river water * Determination of Hg, Pb and Cd in blood samples
