Determination of Heavy Metals
Heavy metal elements are a group of metallic elements with high density and toxicity, such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. Prolonged exposure to plant extracts with excessive levels of heavy metal elements may lead to toxicity, affect various physiological functions, damage organs and tissues, and even increase the risk of disease. Therefore, ensuring that plant extracts do not contain excessive levels of heavy metal elements is important to protect consumer health, ensure product safety and comply with regulations.
Lifeasible provides heavy metal testing services for plant extracts. Through our services, we can ensure that plant extracts comply with regulations and standards, protecting consumers from potential health risks. At the same time, we help our clients to understand the levels of heavy metal elements in plant extracts, which helps to assess their suitability and safety and provides scientific evidence and guidance for the development of new products.
Heavy Metals Determination Services
Lifeasible is a professional biotechnology company that provides heavy metal element testing services for plant extracts. Our services include the following aspects:
- Sample Preparation and Handling
We provide plant extract handling and preparation services to ensure that the samples are properly processed before testing to improve the accuracy and reliability of the test. - Heavy Metal Element Analysis
We use advanced instruments and techniques to accurately analyze heavy metal elements in samples. Common heavy metal elements tested include lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium. - Detection Methods
The methods we provide for the detection of heavy metal elements in plant extracts include the following common techniques, and we will select the appropriate detection method according to the actual needs of our customers.
| Methods | Description |
| Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) | This method utilizes the absorption of atoms of specific heavy metal elements at specific wavelengths for analysis. After the sample has been properly treated, the heavy metal elements are atomized using, for example, a flame or inductive coupling, and then the content is determined by measuring the absorbance at specific wavelengths in the sample. |
| Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) | This method ionizes the heavy metal elements in the sample and measures their relative abundance using a mass spectrometer. ICP-MS is capable of analyzing a wide range of heavy metal elements simultaneously with low detection limits and high accuracy. |
| Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) | This method utilizes the emission of light signals at specific wavelengths from heavy metal elements in the sample after excitation by an inductively coupled plasma. The content is determined by measuring the intensity of the emitted light at a specific wavelength in the sample. |
| X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF) | This method analyzes the sample by the emission of fluorescence at a specific wavelength when the sample is excited by X-rays. XRF can analyze a variety of heavy metal elements at the same time and has the advantage of being fast, sensitive. |
