Unrivaled Sensitivity for Elemental Detection and Quantification

Achieve ultra-low detection limits and exceptional analytical performance with Chem Test Guru's cutting-edge ICP-MS systems.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a powerful analytical technique used for detecting and quantifying metals and several non-metals at trace and ultra-trace levels. It’s renowned for combining the high-temperature ionization power of plasma with the precision of mass spectrometry, enabling rapid, simultaneous multi-element analysis down to parts per trillion (ppt). Chem Test Guru, headquartered in New York, NY, provides industry-leading ICP-MS systems built for labs that demand accuracy, reproducibility, and speed. Our technology is backed by strong partnerships with GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc., two globally recognized B2B innovators. With our growing presence across the U.S. and Canada, we deliver not only advanced instrumentation, but also personalized support, expert consultation, and high-impact integration strategies for modern laboratories.

Case Studies

Case Study 1: Environmental Compliance Monitoring
A state-run environmental agency adopted ICP-MS to track arsenic and mercury in drinking water systems. With sub-ppb detection capability, they ensured EPA compliance and proactively addressed potential contamination risks, improving public safety across multiple counties.

Case Study 2: Pharmaceutical Elemental Impurities Testing
A biotech firm used ICP-MS to validate its parenteral drug products per ICH Q3D standards. The system detected trace levels of cadmium and lead with high precision, supporting regulatory submissions and reducing testing turnaround times by 40%.

Case Study 3: Geological Survey and Exploration
A mining exploration company employed ICP-MS for multi-elemental analysis of mineral ores. This enabled accurate mapping of ore deposits, accelerating discovery and improving return on investment for exploratory drilling projects.

Case Study 4: Semiconductor Manufacturing Quality Control
A semiconductor fabrication facility integrated ICP-MS into its QA workflow to detect metallic contaminants in process water and chemicals. This led to a measurable decrease in wafer defect rates and extended the lifespan of critical equipment.

Case Study 5: Nutritional Trace Element Testing in Food Products
A food safety lab used ICP-MS to monitor essential nutrients and toxic metals in baby food. The implementation ensured products met global regulatory standards and allowed the brand to confidently expand to international markets.
