Trace metal detection and heavy metal testing

Alex Stewart Agriculture also provides heavy metal, trace element testing, water testing and environmental analysis, including testing for heavy metals in water.

Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury all contain toxic bioaccumulation. Lead contamination can be present in drinking/potable water, while mercury can be present in fish and seafood. International regulatory bodies set maximum limits for lead, cadmium and mercury in food and beverages.

We test for metals in waters and food using traditional methods based on atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or state-of-the-art instrumentation through ICP-OES and ICP-MS techniques, which determine the lowest detection limits to analyse trace metal amounts in line with national regulations.
