NILU&#8217;s health effects laboratory can offer investigation of the potential toxicity of most substances.<\/p>\n<h2>Sample Types for Metal Analyses<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a selection of sample types we can analyze:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Air (particles, fallout dust, road dust, house dust)<\/li>\n<li>Water (precipitation, snow, wastewater, surface water, process water, borehole water)<\/li>\n<li>Soil and sediment<\/li>\n<li>Biological samples (fish, meat, eggs, animal feed, plant materials, foodstuffs)<\/li>\n<li>Human samples (blood, urine, hair)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We continuously work to expand the repertoire of sample types we can analyze for metal content. All our analysis methods are developed internally and accredited according to IS EN 17025:2017.<\/p>\n<p>We annually control our analysis methods by participating in international laboratory comparisons.<\/p>\n<h2>NILU&#8217;s Laboratory Facilities<\/h2>\n<p>All sample preparation takes place in a cleanroom laboratory (ISO-14644, class 7 and 8), allowing us to determine metal content in ultra-low concentrations.<\/p>\n<p>The laboratory is well-equipped with both low- and high-resolution plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, ICP-HRMS) for the determination of more than 60 elements and other advanced analytical equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>Elements We Can Determine<\/h2>\n<p>NILU can determine more than 60 elements. We have extensive experience in determining both mercury and rare earth metals (lanthanides + scandium and yttrium) in a variety of sample types.<\/p>\n<h3>Contact us for more information or offers!
