Narrative & Glossary

Chemical Solutions Ltd. (CSL) is an independent testing laboratory specializing in ultra trace level elemental analysis. Through the technology of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), CSL has performed analyses for the natural product, pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural, and environmental sectors.

ICP-MS is a trace element technique, which encompasses several techniques into one. It has the multiple element determination capability of an ICP with the detection capability of Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption or lower. The instrument does especially well in more difficult matrices, where the other techniques may be problematic due to interference properties. ICP-MS is an essential technique when attempting to determine metals, minerals, and elements.

Chemical Solutions Ltd. (CSL) is capable of performing a scan of your material, "Total Quant II," for approximately 65 elements. The concentrations of about 18 elements are quantified. Concentrations for the remaining elements are estimated, and the detection levels are usually in the ppm range. The advantage of this technique is that it provides valuable data for a wide range of elements.

CSL is focused on ICP-MS technology. Our clients are afforded low-level detection and responsive analysis at a cost savings through this superior instrument. We are capable of providing the following services and applications for elemental analyses.

CA Prop 65: Everyone is talking about California Proposition 65. What is California Proposition 65? Prop 65 is known as the ÒSafe Drinking Water Toxics Enforcement Act of 1986Ó. It says that no one shall introduce into the drinking waters of the state of California any substance that may cause reproductive or carcinogenic toxicity. This legislation, however, has expanded into the consumer product area. Wherefore, dietary supplements, herbal, cosmetic and even home products, etc. have been included within the confines of this piece of legislation.
