Heavy Metals Standard Test

Method Description

The Determination of Heavy Metals (Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury) in food, dietary supplements, botanicals, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) utilizes Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). In this method, the sample undergoes digestion to extract heavy metals, and the resulting solution is analyzed by ICP-MS for precise quantification. This highly sensitive and accurate technique ensures reliable measurements of heavy metal concentrations, crucial for assessing product safety. It plays a pivotal role in quality control and regulatory compliance across diverse industries, safeguarding consumer health by identifying and managing potential risks associated with heavy metal contamination in consumable products.
