ICP-MS Analysis: Heavy Metal Contaminant Controls in Botanical Supply Chains
Understanding parts-per-billion heavy metal screening via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for clean label compliance.
Botanical crops absorb minerals and nutrients directly from the soil. Unfortunately, they can also accumulate toxic heavy metals present in the environment from industrial runoff, legacy pesticide usage, or naturally occurring geologic deposits. Consuming elevated levels of lead, cadmium, arsenic, or mercury poses severe health risks.
To protect consumer safety and maintain compliance with strict international regulations (including California Proposition 65 and USP standards), we analyze all bulk ingredients using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS).
The Science of ICPMS...
