Integrated Biomolecule, Tucson, AZ, has opened its new ICP-MS laboratory. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is used to test minerals and metals to confirm raw material product specifications, finished product label claims and the absence of heavy metal contamination. It is also the method of choice for compliance with California’s Proposition 65 toxic enforcement act. The detection limit for most elements is in the range of parts per trillion (ppt).
