At one point, I was sending in samples to ATI, Triton, and ICP-Analysis concurrently, just to get a feel for how they correlated with each other. ICP-A tended to be the outlier, sometimes significantly, so I eventually dropped them. Too bad too, because they have the fastest turnaround time, being in the US. Also note that this was about a year ago, so they certainly could have modified their procedures in that interval. I continue to send to both ATI and Triton when I want to do an ICP-OES.

I like ATI because they test RO/DI as well. I did a test in July. I was satisfied with the comprehensive results. I am sending a Triton test this week as I wanted to try them out for a comparison.

@Scrubber_steve noted Triton may not report some common, useful values. Not sure.

“From what I have seen of other peoples results Triton neither provides a result for salinity or chlorine/chloride, unlike at least one other company’s results I’ve looked at.
Is this correct?”

Following along, also use ati. Read reviews when icp-analysis.com hit market that kept me away, but if there are recent users that are happy could always give a go for the cost savings
