Reef Zlements ICP-OES Aquarium Analysis RO and Saltwater

Description

ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) water analysis is a highly precise method used to assess the elemental composition of aquarium water. By testing 43 key parameters, ICP analysis provides a comprehensive insight into water chemistry, detecting even trace levels of essential and harmful elements. This advanced testing helps aquarium enthusiasts and professionals maintain optimal water quality by identifying imbalances and offering corrective recommendations. With ICP analysis, you can ensure a healthier, more stable environment for marine life, preventing potential issues before they impact your aquariums ecosystem.

Standard ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) Testing utilises the in-houseSPECTROGREEN DSOI ICP-OESinstrument. This state-of-the-art equipment features a unique radial dual side-on interface, capturing emitted light from both sides of a vertical plasma with only a single extra reflection. This design provides twice the sensitivity of conventional radial-view models and matches the sensitivity of newer vertical-torch dual-view systems.

The Standard ICP tests 43 standard parameters

Chloride (Cl), Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K), Strontium (Sr), Boron (B), Bromine (Br), Sulphur (S), Lithium (Li), Silicon (Si), Iodine (I), Beryllium (Be), Barium (Ba), Molybdenum (Mo), Titanium (Ti), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Phosphorus (P), Phosphate (PO4), Aluminium (Al), Silver (Ag), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tin (Sn), Cadmium (Cd), Selenium (Se), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), Lanthanum (La), Scandium (Sc), Tungsten (W), Bismuth (Bi), Germanium (Ge), Thallium (T), Zirconium (Zr) and Salinity.
