ATI ICP Lab Analysis Ultimate MS
The ATI ICP Lab Analysis Ultimate MS is ATI's most comprehensive mail-in analysis. It includes everything in the Pro analysis plus ICP-MS measurement of trace elements and pollutants down to the ultra-trace range, with many parameters double-checked by both ICP-OES and ICP-MS. Return shipping is included.
What it measures
- Salinity
- Major elements: sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, bromine, strontium, boron
- OES trace elements: arsenic, barium, beryllium, chromium, cobalt, iron, iodine, copper, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, silicon, vanadium, zinc, tin
- OES pollutants: aluminum, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, lanthanum, thallium, titanium, tungsten, mercury
- MS trace elements: arsenic, chromium, cobalt, copper, manganese, nickel, rubidium, selenium, vanadium, zinc, tin
- MS pollutants: lead, neodymium, niobium, zirconium, indium, germanium, gallium, mercury, tellurium
- Phosphate / phosphorus, nitrate and fluorine, alkalinity (KH)
- Analysis of your reverse osmosis water
Why Ultimate MS
- Double validation: Many parameters are measured by both ICP-OES and ICP-MS and checked against each other.
- Ultra-trace detection: Detection down to 0.001 µg/L for some elements; ATI states ICP-MS detection limits are up to 10,000 times lower than other ICP systems.
- Earlier pollutant warning: Pollutants are detected earlier and more precisely.
- Extra elements: Measures elements ICP-OES can't, such as rubidium, neodymium and zirconium.

About ATI lab testing
ATI's lab in Germany, headed by Dr. Ben Funk, uses professional ICP-OES, ICP-MS, ion chromatography and titration equipment, choosing the most suitable method for each parameter. ATI positions lab analysis as far more accurate and consistent than standard hobby test kits, and it covers many elements a hobby kit can't measure. Correct what the report shows with the matching ATI ICP Element supplements.
