Product / Service / Licensing

Product Name:	Environmental Products and Services
Product Name:	Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis
Maxxam Analytics provides ICP-MS services for the evaluation of trace metals in environmental samples. This method provides detection limits which are comparable to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) while offering a complete scan of over 20 trace metals in a single cost-effective analysis. ICP-MS is an acronym for Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry. It refers to methodology for the detection of metals which utilizes an ICP as ion source and a mass spectrometer as detector. It may also be referred to as EPA Method 6020.
Product Name:	Rapid Chemical Analysis packages
Maxxam Analytics offers three packages for evaluating general water chemistry. These packages provide fast, reliable results at low cost and are widely used by engineering consultants, government, industry and the general public. The RCAp-30 is designed to analyse thirty standard water quality variables which, when viewed collectively, give a broad and complete inorganic profile of the water. The RCAp-MS provides the 30 standard variables and in addition provides a detailed analysis of trace metal concentrations. The RCAp is performed using 'state of the art' instrumentation and advanced robotics which ensures fast turnaround time and high quality analyses at low cost. The methods used are those defined by the American Public Health Association and/or the U.S. EPA.
