TEBAG Environmental analysis

We offer a range of waters, soils and sediments analyses and are undergoing ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation for the following techniques.

Total Metals in soils and sediments using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry)
Recoverable (environmentally available) Metals in soils and sediments using ICP-MS
Leachable metals in soils and sediments using ICP-MS
Dissolved metals in natural waters (i.e. tap/river/marine/ground water) using ICP-MS
Dissolved metals in coastal sea waters using ICP-MS with High Matrix Introduction system (HMI)
Metals analysed include:
Aluminium (Al), Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), Boron (B), Cadmium (Cd), Caesium (Cs), Calcium (Ca), Chromium (Cr), Cobalt (Co), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Scandium (Sc), Selenium (Se), Silver (Ag), Sodium (Na), Strontium (Sr), Titanium (Ti), Uranium (U), Zinc (Zn).
