This highly sensitive method is ideal for applications in the semiconductor, aerospace, medical technology and electronics industries, where contaminants, even in minimal quantities, can be critical.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">For particularly demanding ultra-trace analyses, we rely on <strong>glow discharge mass spectrometry (GD-MS)<\/strong>, which focuses exclusively on this highly specialized analysis technique.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ce3327 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3ce3327\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-964ff44 cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"964ff44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24e39c5 cmsmasters-title-alignment-left cmsmasters-item-icon-position-left cmsmasters-trigger-icon-view-default cmsmasters-block-default cmsmasters-sticky-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-cmsmasters-toggles cmsmasters-widget-toggles\" data-id=\"24e39c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;toggles&quot;:[{&quot;toggle_title&quot;:&quot;Which metals can be analyzed with trace analysis?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p class=\\&quot;p1\\&quot;&gt;We analyze pure and ultra-pure metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), aluminum (Al) and other elements with extremely low concentrations.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;8b62f61&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:0,&quot;content_type&quot;:&quot;toggle-content&quot;,&quot;saved_section&quot;:null,&quot;saved_template&quot;:null,&quot;item_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;toggle_custom_id&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;toggle_title&quot;:&quot;What detection limits are possible with your analysis?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p class=\\&quot;p1\\&quot;&gt;Thanks to our ICP-MS technology, we can achieve a limit of quantification in the &lt;span class=\\&quot;s1\\&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;ppb range&lt;\\\/b&gt;&lt;\\\/span&gt; (parts per billion) and even lower if required.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;a2119a9&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:1,&quot;content_type&quot;:&quot;toggle-content&quot;,&quot;saved_section&quot;:null,&quot;saved_template&quot;:null,&quot;item_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;toggle_custom_id&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;toggle_title&quot;:&quot;For which industries is trace analysis particularly relevant?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p class=\\&quot;p1\\&quot;&gt;Trace analysis is crucial for the &lt;span class=\\&quot;s1\\&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;semiconductor, medical technology, aerospace and high-tech industries,&lt;\\\/b&gt;&lt;\\\/span&gt; where maximum material purity is required.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;b670852&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:2,&quot;content_type&quot;:&quot;toggle-content&quot;,&quot;saved_section&quot;:null,&quot;saved_template&quot;:null,&quot;item_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;toggle_custom_id&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;toggle_title&quot;:&quot;Can I also have an ultra-trace analysis carried out?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p class=\\&quot;p1\\&quot;&gt;Yes, for &lt;span class=\\&quot;s1\\&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;ultra-trace&lt;\\\/b&gt;&lt;\\\/span&gt; analysis we use &lt;b&gt;GD-MS&lt;\\\/b&gt;, which is designed exclusively for these extremely sensitive analyses.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;57a0c18&quot;,&quot;index&quot;:3,&quot;content_type&quot;:&quot;toggle-content&quot;,&quot;saved_section&quot;:null,&quot;saved_template&quot;:null,&quot;item_icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;toggle_custom_id&quot;:&quot;&quot;},{&quot;toggle_title&quot;:&quot;How long does the analysis take and how can I send in my samples?&quot;,&quot;toggle_content&quot;:&quot;&lt;p class=\\&quot;p1\\&quot;&gt;The processing time is &lt;span class=\\&quot;s1\\&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;3-7 working days&lt;\\\/b&gt;&lt;\\\/span&gt;, depending on the sample and scope of analysis.
