Elemental analysis of soil, sludge, and sediment with ICP-OES
EPA 200.7, EPA 3050, EPA 6010, …
ICP-OES measurement package for soil, sludge, or sediment samples. Pre-treatment of the sample with aqua regia decomposition is included in the price. The following elements are quantified using the ICP-OES technique: Element Detection limit (mg/kg d.m.) Ag 0.5 As 0.5 Ba 0.2 Be 0.01 Cd 0.4 Co 0.2 Cr 0.5 Cu 1 Fe 10 Hg 0.2 Li 1 Mn 0.5 Mo 0.4 Ni 1 P 5 Pb 1 Sb 0.5 Sn 1 Sr 0.1 Tl 0.5 V 0.1 Zn 3 The concentrations are expressed in mg/kg d.m. A nutrient measurement package for soil, sludge, or sediment samples is also available. This package includes aqua regia decomposition pretreatment and the measurement of the following elements with the ICP-OES technique: Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Sn, Sr, Tl, V, Zn. The analysis is also available with an express turnaround time. Ask our experts for more information.

Read moreRestricted substances in metallic jewelry parts (REACH)
EN 12472, EN 1811
Testing for harmful substances in metal jewelry parts according to the requirements of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. The test package includes the following tests: Transfer of nickel from jewelry to the human body. Limit value for first-time piercing jewelry 0.2 µg/cm2/week. For other jewelry, the limit is 0.5 µg/cm2/week., Cadmium (concentration test, limit value 0.01% by weight), Lead (concentration test, limit value 0.05% by weight). NOTE: Price is applicable for single jewelry parts (for example earring hooks etc.) and pricing is based on small sample sets. If jewelry includes multiple parts (for example, earrings back part, needle and swinging part), all parts on the sample must be tested, and the price of the analysis is per part. Discount is provided if the number of samples is high. Please ask for an offer from our expert if the tested product includes multiple parts or materials, or if you are planning to deliver a bigger sample set at once.
