Precious Metals Analysis
User
Since 2007, our focus has been on specialized mining sample tests, particularly emphasizing hot-block digestion for mining-related samples. Our analyses include a meticulous examination of Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, and Iridium, employing state-of-the-art ICP-MS technology. With an extensive scope covering 25 metals, we undergo annual proficiency testing through a third-party provider accredited with ISO17034 and ISO17043.
For our Metals Testing, we utilize a proprietary method, specifically a modified EPA6020 B 2007 method. The hot-block digestion process is chosen for its high flexibility, ensuring accurate and reliable results. -( add on to this paragraph above using the following key words if they are not explicitly used above , Mining Sample Tests
