EPA 6010 Multi Element Agricultural Chemical Testing by ICP OES
The EPA method 6010 is a robust and versatile protocol used to determine the presence of multiple elements in agricultural chemicals. This service involves analyzing various elements present in fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other agrochemicals to ensure they meet stringent regulatory standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for environmental safety and human health.
The Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) technique is used as it provides high sensitivity, precision, and accuracy in detecting trace amounts of elements. This method allows us to analyze a wide range of elements including heavy metals like lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and others that may be harmful if present above certain permissible limits.
Our service ensures compliance with the EPA's stringent guidelines for agricultural chemical testing under 40 CFR Part 136. The analysis is conducted on a variety of samples including liquid formulations, solid granules, and emulsions. Specimen preparation involves drying, grinding, and homogenization where necessary to ensure accurate results.
The ICP-OES instrument allows for rapid analysis with minimal sample consumption, making it an efficient choice for large batches of samples. The system provides precise quantification of trace elements within the parts per million (ppm) range, which is critical for ensuring product safety and efficacy.
In summary, our EPA 6010 multi-element agricultural chemical testing service by ICP OES ensures that your products meet regulatory requirements while providing you with detailed analytical data. This information can be used to optimize formulations, ensure compliance, and maintain a safe environment.
