Our standard hair analysis suite includes determination of 40 elements,
including:
•
the major nutrient elements (boron, calcium, chromium, cobalt,
copper, iron, germanium, potassium, lithium, magnesium,
manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, selenium, sodium,
strontium, sulphur, vanadium and zinc)
•
other traces (aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium,
bismuth, cadmium, gallium, lead, mercury, nickel, platinum,
rhodium, rubidium, silver, thallium, thorium, titanium, tin,
tungsten and uranium).
Trace Elements in Dietary Supplements
Are you unsure of the levels of trace elements or undesirable metals in
imported supplements? LabWest analyses trace and heavy metals in
most organic and inorganic supplements to very low levels using
microwave digestion and ICP-Mass Spectrometry techniques.
Trace Elements in Water
Water from various sources varies widely in dissolved metal content, and
“purified” waters may or may not be as stated. At LabWest we can test
the metals content of waters to ascertain what metals are present and
their concentration.
Minerals Analysis
Major, trace and heavy metal determination
LabWest offers analysis of up to 61 trace elements (including major nutrients, heavy metals and rare earths) in a
wide range of sample types. Solid samples are digested in appropriate acids in microwave digestion apparatus,
and the elemental concentrations are determined by ICP-Mass Spectrometry (trace and heavy metals) and ICP-
Optical Emission Spectrometry (major nutrient metals).
