21st May 2009 Warwick Analytical Service has produced an analytical service note that describes the accurate and precise determination of trace metals in organic and inorganic materials using Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES).  Equipped with modern high resolution ICP instrumentation - Warwick Analytical Service, the analytical service division of Exeter Analytical (UK) Ltd., is able to resolve the most complex spectra and analyse even the most difficult samples. Routine detection limits are low for most elements (typically <10ppb) and multi-element determinations can be achieved rapidly and precisely. For particularly demanding materials, such as metal oxides, metallic catalysts, polymers and geochemical materials, that do not dissolve well by traditional means - high pressure microwave digestion apparatus can be used to effectively and rapidly digest samples ready for ICP-OES analysis. The result is enhanced data reproducibility and improved sensitivity. Warwick Analytical Service is a company dedicated to providing analytical excellence at a realistic cost. Through experienced staff, the latest analytical instrumentation and working closely with clients - WAS has established a strong reputation for informed personal service and delivering top quality data on time. Operating from a dedicated facility approved to BSI ISO 9001 and with a wide range of analytical techniques accredited to UKAS ISO17025 - WAS is the trusted analytical services provider for a growing number of UK and international businesses. The WAS ICP-OES analytical service is available for the determination of a wide range of major and trace elements in a single analysis. ICP-OES analysis enables accurate and precise analysis for 70+ elements in the periodic table.
