We can identify the kinds and amounts of elements in ‘chemical compounds that are important to your research. For example: Heavy metals In streams and rivers; Composition of wood preservatives in building materials; Nutritional content of foods; Calcium in deer antlers; Tron and nickel in benthic samples from the Atlantic Ocean Toxic elements like cadmium In hand-painted Italian pottery. Our laboratory has provided data for research in ecology, materials science, forestry, plant sciences and art, to name a few. In addition to UGA researchers, our client list includes other colleges and universities such as Harverd Medical School, Emory, the University of Alabama, Clemson, and Michigan State University, Highly specialized instruments and experienced personnel offer excellent quality control and fast turnaround times. Our staff is available to consult with researchers on analytical procedures, sample collection, preservation, storage, and even the development of new techniques for unusual sample types. A list of the analyses we offer follows, ELEMENT ANALYSIS ‘Three methods are available to detect types and concentrations of nearly all elements in the periodic table — even at trace and ultra-trace levels. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Emission Spectrometry (ICP) Analysis of solutions or dissolved solids Quantitative determination of 20 to 28 elements simultaneously Detection limits in the parts-per-million (ppm) range ‘Typical applications: Sample types previously processed include wooden boards, plant tissue, soils, proteins, bones, human tissue, fish, snails, clams, wastewater, and ocean water Instrumentation: Thermo Jarrell-Ash Enviro 36 Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma spectrophotometer Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) Analysis of solutions or dissolved solids . Rapid, multi-elemental analysis capability covering most elements in the periodic table Detection limits In the parts-per-billion to parts-per-trillion range Requires a minimum sample of 2 mi 5/6/2005
