ICP-OES Saltwater Analysis Testing Kit

What is ICP-OES Testing?

ICP-OES (Inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry) is a technique in which the composition of elements in (mostly water-dissolved) samples can be determined using plasma and a spectrometer. This results in an accurate snapshot of the water quality in your system. The end analysis results in a comprehensive report of macro and trace elements crucial to the healthy function of your reef system.
