Oceamo ICP-MS Test - Seawater Laboratory Analysis

Our water analyses are carried out with scientific methodology and accuracy. We take the time to evaluate and explain the results. – You don’t need to be a chemist to understand and use Oceamo analyses.

We combine various analytical methods with specialist knowledge and personal advice. This will create a “chemical fingerprint” of your aquarium and together we can optimize it by adjusting the water parameters. With our ICP-OES we can reliably analyze a large part of the essential bulk elements, trace elements and pollutants in the probes. With our IC (including conductivity and UV detection), we can also reliably measure fluoride, nitrate and nitrite in extremely low concentrations. Salinity is measured with a conductivity probe and alkalinity (KH) is determined titrimetrically. In addition, we measure phosphate using a sensitive photometric method, which means that this important parameter is determined precisely.

Since the end of 2021 Agilent ICP-MS (ICP with mass spectroscopy) has been added to our equipment pool. Using ICP-MS, trace elements and potentially harmful heavy metals can be detected in significantly lower concentrations than with ICP-OES.This means that deficiencies can be reliably detected and compensated for even in ultra-trace elements such as tin, cobalt, copper, chromium and selenium..

But our expertise does not end with ICP-MS. We combine this leading technology with a wide range of established methods such as ICP-OES, ion chromatography, as well as specialized measurements for salinity, alkalinity and phosphate. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of your water sample is accurately recorded.
