ICP-MS

CA Analytical Testing Services offers advanced elemental testing using one of the most trusted techniques in the industry— Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP‑MS).

ICP‑MS provides greater sensitivity, enabling ultra‑trace elemental analysis down to sub‑parts‑per‑billion (ppb) levels. With a dynamic collision cell, ICP‑MS effectively removes common interferences, ensuring highly accurate results.

Using ICP‑MS, we can detect and measure trace metals at concentrations ranging from percentage levels to parts per million (ppm), parts per billion (ppb), and even parts per trillion (ppt). Our laboratory employs specialized sample preparation methods—including aqua regia digestion, hydrofluoric acid (HF) digestion, and hot plate digestion for difficult matrices—to bring nearly any material into solution for metal analysis.

Our quality management system and facility operates under full cGMP compliance. We can perform elemental testing in accordance with ICH Q3D guidelines and USP Chapters <232> and <233>, using methods such as HF, high‑salt, and other special matrix I ICP‑MS. For clients without an established method, our experienced scientists offer method development and validation tailored to your requirements.

With state‑of‑the‑art instrumentation, proven expertise, and robust quality controls, CA Analytical Testing Services provides precise and reliable elemental analysis for even the most challenging projects.
