Can Small Labs Even Detect Heavy Metal Contamination Properly?

Most small labs can only do basic screens not full heavy metal profiling

Without ICP-MS or ICP OES their detection limits aren’t great

A lot of heavy metal tests from small labs are just colorimetric kits not reliable

Turnaround time can be a clue real metal testing isn’t done in 24 hours

Cheaper tests usually mean higher detection thresholds less sensitivity.
