Elemental Analysis
Measure named elements and trace impurities, compare selected isotopes, or investigate an elemental question that does not fit a routine product panel.
Start with the closest service below. If the material or measurement is not listed, tell us what you need to learn and the range or specification you expect.
Elemental analysis begins with preparation. A beverage, botanical extract, polished metal, ceramic, and mineral sample may reach the same instrument by very different routes.

Choose the closest measurement. If it does not describe your material or target elements, send the question to the laboratory.
Elemental Impurities (Class I)
Elemental concentration. Quantitative ICP-MS testing for arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury—the four elements commonly grouped as Class 1 elemental impurities.
Defined scope: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury by ICP-MS.
Review Elemental Impurities (Class I)Isotope Ratio Analysis
Comparative isotope measurement. Isotope-ratio and isotopic-composition measurements for enriched and stable isotope materials, source comparison, and other material-characterization questions.
Project scope: isotope system, matrix, references, and comparison design are reviewed.
Review Isotope Ratio AnalysisA few ways elemental data is used
Elemental impurities
Measure named elements against a product specification, limit, daily-use basis, or other agreed reporting framework.
Isotope ratios
Compare selected isotopes using suitable references, expected ranges, and a decision framework established before testing.
High-purity and specialty materials
Investigate composition or trace contamination with preparation and contamination controls suited to the material.
Combined studies
Bring concentration and isotope questions together when both measurements are needed to understand a feedstock, product, or process.
What helps us choose the right method
Tell us enough about the material, expected range, and decision to judge preparation, contamination control, standards, and reporting.
- Exact material, product, matrix, ingredients, and processing context
- Whether the question concerns concentration, isotope ratio, or both
- Named elements, impurity class, isotope system, or comparison question
- Applicable standard, specification, reference material, or prior dataset
- Required limits, units, reporting basis, or interpretation framework
- Sample count, available quantity, and requested deadline
