METALS

At Michelson Laboratories, Inc., the Metals Group tests for common minerals and metals utilizing state-of-the-art analytical procedures and technology, including the TJA TraceScan ICP-AES instrument.

A recognized leader in trace-level analysis, the Metals Group designs and implements both field and analytical projects based on methods prescribed by the AOAC and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The ICP Technique also identifies Low Detection Limits of mineral metals in foods at the part-per-billion level. This technique precisely tests for not only metals (Ca, Fe, Na, K and Mg), but also provides trace-level determination of inorganic boron, phosphorus, iodine, silica and others.

Detection of heavy metals in challenging matrices, such as those found in the food, herbal, cosmetic, and health product industries can be achieved by using the Microwave Digestion System (Model MDS-81D). This is a special purpose microwave system designed for laboratory use in digesting, dissolving, extracting, drying, or ashing a wide range of materials.

Michelson Laboratories, Inc also offers lead analysis for FDA detained ceramics and earthenware by acid leeching methodology.

The CPI ModBlock TM was designed for use with both environmental and food applications in mind. It incorporates a state-of-the-art PID control system that provides precise temperature control. It meets many AOAC and EPA methodology requirements.

The BUCK Model 400A Mercury Analyzer System is a complete system used to find mercury in many matrices using the Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption technique.

At Michelson Laboratories, Inc our technicians stay abreast of the most current techniques and governmental requirements so our customers can feel secure about the accuracy and completeness of our metal testing results.
