Oceamo ICP-MS Seawater Analysis

Description

Looking to dial in your trace element dosing or just want an advanced look at what is happening in your reef aquarium? This is the kit for you!

The new benchmark in seawater analysis

• High sensitivity to trace elements and pollutants by ICP mass spectroscopy
• Extremely extensive procedures performed in addition to ICP-MS: ion chromatography, KH titration, salinity measurement, photometric phosphate measurement.
• Sampling optimized for ICP-MS

ICP-MS (ICP with mass spectrometry) is significantly more sensitive, and offers up to 10000 times lower detection limits as ICP-OES. This results in the following advantages:

• Important trace elements can be reliably measured in the relevant concentration range. This is a great advantage, especially for the measurement of selenium, chromium, cobalt, copper and nickel. Many of these elements with OES can only be measured when they are elevated.
• Using ICP-MS, we can also reliably diagnose a deficiency of these elements.
• Toxic heavy metals (such as mercury, thallium, bismuth, lead, thorium, uranium, …) can be reliably detected in very low concentrations and thus long before problems are caused in the tank.
• The measurement of other elements (such as cesium, tellurium, cerium and ruthenium)is enabled by ICP-MS.
• The sensitive measurement of trace elements also makes it possible to adjust the ultra-trace elements in a targeted manner.
