General information:

Our water analyzes are carried out with scientific methodology and accuracy. We take the time to evaluate and explain the results. - You do not have to be a chemist to understand and use Oceamo analysis.

With our ICP-OES we can safely analyze a large part of the essential macro elements, trace elements and pollutants in the water. Our ion chromatography (with conductivity and UV detection) also enables us to reliably determine fluoride, nitrate and nitrite with very low detection limits. The salinity is determined with a conductivity sensor, and the alkalinity determined titrimetrically. In addition, we measure phosphate with a sensitive photometric method, which determines this important parameter very reliably.

Since the end of 2021, an Agilent ICP-MS (ICP with mass spectroscopy) has been added to our scientific equipment. Using ICP-MS, we can detect trace elements and potentially harmful heavy metals in significantly lower concentrations than with ICP-OES. As a result, deficiencies can be reliably detected and compensated even for ultra-trace elements such as tin, cobalt, copper, chromium and selenium.
