Consult a Chemist
Our technical team is here to help with real-world lab challenges—from method development to matrix matching..
How We Can Help
Getting the right results starts with the right prep. Our chemists can help you optimize your sample digestion, dilution, and preservation steps—whether you're dealing with complex matrices, volatile elements, or low-concentration targets.
Check out our Sample Preparation Guide for step-by-step support, or listen to the Bench Boost podcast series where our chemists break it down chapter by chapter.
Whether you’re running into interferences, signal drift, or sensitivity issues, our chemists can help you get to the root of the problem—fast. With decades of experience supporting both ICP-MS and ICP-OES, we can guide you through method optimization, emission line selection, memory effects, and more. No issue is too small or too complex.
For detailed guidance, check out our ICP Operations Guide, a go-to resource for method setup, interferences, and instrument performance tips.
Not sure if your elements will hold in solution? Need help selecting the right acid matrix or container type? We can guide you on stability timelines, reactivity concerns, and long-term storage—so your standards don’t degrade before you use them.
Read some FAQs from CEO & Fellow Chemist, Paul Gaines, Ph.D, and check out our Interactive Periodic Table for info on elemental interferences.
While we're better know for all things ICP, we also have IC expertise with anions and cations. We can help with standard selection, eluent compatibility, and general guidance for IC-related needs—especially when used alongside elemental testing.
Learn more about our IC capabilities and resources on our Ion Chromatography page.
Have a question about your standard, certificate of analysis, or custom blend? We’ve got you covered. Our technical team works directly with production, so we can quickly answer product-specific questions and help with reorders or modifications.
We can help design a custom blend tailored to your exact method and matrix needs—reach out to get started.
With over 30 years of experience in inorganic chemistry, our technical team is here to support you every step of the way. Whether you're troubleshooting interferences, developing a method, or dealing with tricky matrix issues, we’ve seen it all—and we’re eager to help. Every chemist on our team is deeply knowledgeable, approachable, and committed to helping you get the accurate results your lab depends on.
