Metals in water supplies are subject to various regulatory limits, such as those outlined in US EPA methods 200.7, 200.8, 6010, and 6020, to reduce environmental and human exposure to toxic metal species including arsenic and lead. Widely used analytical techniques for the determination of metals in water include ICP-MS and ICP-OES, with LC or GC hyphenation necessary for chromatographic resolution in metal speciation. Agilent ICP-MS and ICP-OES are tailored to provide fast analysis times, robust performance, and ease of use for demanding metal analysis applications.
Agilent provides ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AA instrumentation that enable users to readily meet the requirements of EPA methods 200.7 and 200.8.
Agilent ICP-OES instruments provide the robust performance demanded by EPA 6010, assisted by ICP software for straightforward setup and control.
High-matrix environmental samples can be analyzed with ease and in accordance with EPA 6020 using Agilent ICP-MS solutions for highest throughput.
With the Agilent ISO 17294 Water Analyzer, labs can be set up to run this method quickly and reproducibly.
Agilent ICP-MS and ICP-QQQ instruments combine easily with Agilent LC and GC systems for precise speciation of multiple metal elements.
This application brief presents the use of the Agilent 5900 ICP-OES for the determination and fast analysis of metals and trace elements in water and waste samples in accordance with EPA method 200.7. The 5900 ICP-OES minimizes argon and therefore cost per analysis.
Effluents produced in agricultural, industrial, and commercial processes must be analyzed to prevent potentially harmful elements from contaminating the environment. Microwave plasma-AES (MP-AES) is a safe, economical way to analyze multiple metals in wastewater.
Analysis of high-salt matrices is challenging when directly analyzed by ICP-MS, as matrix may deposit on the sampling and skimmer cone orifices, causing signal drift. This application note shows the direct analysis of trace elements in high matrix samples without dilution.
ICP-OES is commonly used as an analysis technique in environmental labs running US EPA, ISO, or other regulatory methods. This consumable workflow guide provides a list of standards and supplies recommended for running EPA 200.7 on the Agilent 5900 ICP-OES.
