With ATI ICP-MS Ultimate Lab Analysis, you get the ultimate in accuracy across the board with the combination of ICP-OES and ICP-MS technologies, delivering our most comprehensive analysis. ATI Ultimate Lab Analysis has many benefits:
- Increased accuracy and significantly lower detection limits down to ultra-trace levels with ICP-MS (e.g. manganese, selenium, vanadium, arsenic, etc.) – elemental detection is possible down to 0.001 µg/l (compared to ICP-OES detection limits, which range from 0.5 to 3.5 µg/l depending on the element).
- Early detection of contaminants: enables faster response to prevent potential problems.
- Double-validated results: Many parameters are measured by both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, with cross-checking to ensure consistency and reduce measurement errors.
- Expanded element portfolio (MS* trace elements and MS* contaminants): rubidium, neodymium, zirconium, and many others.
- Use of the most suitable measurement method for each water parameter – for example, major elements are measured by ICP-OES, while trace and ultra-trace elements are analyzed by ICP-MS.
With precise measurement from bulk to ultra-trace elements, the ATI Laboratory Analysis ICP-MS Ultimate achieves unprecedented accuracy.
