low-level metals

ACZ has built a long-standing reputation of being one of the best laboratories in the industry for metals analysis. We have over nine years of ICP-MS experience and two ICP-MS's, including a state-of-the-art Agilent 7500I. The ICP-MS is an instrument with great sensitivity - so great that often the laboratory environment often limits the method detection limits of the instrument. In 1999, ACZ completed a 9,000 sq.ft. addition that includes a class 100 clean room. The clean room houses our ICP-MS's and our brand new Leeman CVAF low-level Mercury analyzer. This provides ACZ with a facility and the instrumentation that enable us to produce the highest quality data currently available for low-level metals analysis for the environmental industry.

Low-Level Mercury via EPA Method 1631

ACZ has purchased a Cold-Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (CVAFS), which will allow us to perform low-level Mercury analysis via EPA method 1631. Many regulatory agencies are now requiring much more stringent standards for Mercury. The 1631 CVAFS method provides detection levels in the part-per-trillion range, which will easily meet all regulatory limits for both detection and practical quantitation levels. ACZ meets the method required reporting limit of 0.5 ppT (parts per trillion) for method 1631.
