As Australia’s peak measurement body, the National Measurement Institute (NMI) can provide world-class environmental measurement services and solutions. With our state-of-the-art GC-ICP-MS instrument we can help you meet your regulatory and quality requirements.
We have National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accreditation (external link) for:
- monobutyltin
- dibutyltin
- tributyltin.
We use an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) interfaced to a gas chromatograph (GC).
GC-ICP-MS is more accurate than other techniques because it:
- uses highly selective tin isotopes to minimise matrix interference and co-eluting peaks from skewing results
- has high sensitivity for low level detection
- is effective with complex matrices such as shell fish tissue.
