Different ICP test

LEOreefer · Jan 17, 2020

Hey everyone,
I’m in the market for ICP test but am wondering if anyone had experience with companies other than triton? If so which companies and how did you like the service? Was is quicker than triton ?

I've done the ICP-Analysis from Marine Depot. It goes out to Colorado so much faster and cheaper than Triton, $30+ shipping. Results in about a week. No problems at all. Got another one I'll be sending out Monday. You may get a few more elements tested from triton but not worth the wait.

I've done ICP tests with ATI and with another one (cheaper but without shipping and ended up similar amounts).

I regularly use ATI. They also test your RODI water in addition to tank water which is beneficial for me. Essentially a free test in my book!

I used this one based out of Colorado. Picked up a few kits at MACNA this year at 25% off. Should've bought more of them.

ICP-Analysis

We do ICP analysis on all types of water. We test for 50+ elements and provide results as low as 10 ppt

I will use it again in the future. I mailed it from the northeast. Had a result in either 4 or 5 days.

Just checked marine depot and the ATI test is $45. where did you find it for $30?

I'm not a fan of the chemical knowledge from icp.analysis dot com. At least when the owner was in the chem forum, his lack of chemical knowledge was substantial, and his early ICP results had obvious issues.

You can see the concerns here:

https://www.icp-analysis.com/ Is this a good thing? Based in Colorado. I've never been into much testing but I would do this. $100 for five tests. Comments please.
