At North Australian Laboratories (NAL), we are proud to offer analytical services using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). 

These techniques enable us to deliver highly accurate and reliable results for the mining industry, supporting the analysis of base metals, rare earth elements, uranium, and other types of multi-element-analysis.

Advanced Techniques for Comprehensive Analysis

Our ICP-OES and ICP-MS services are designed to meet the diverse needs of the mining sector. These sophisticated analytical methods allow for precise detection and quantification of a wide range of elements across various concentration levels, from major components to trace impurities.

  • ICP-OES provides robust multi-element analysis with high throughput, which is ideal for determining concentrations of Elements in complex matrices.
  • ICP-MS offers exceptional sensitivity and low detection limits, making it the preferred choice for trace-level analysis and rare earth element detection.

By applying these technologies, we provide comprehensive data that mining operations can rely on for exploration, grade control, and production optimization.

ICP-OES and ICP-MS

Expertise in Base Metal and Rare Earth Analysis

Our laboratory specializes in analyzing base metals, including copper, lead, zinc, nickel, and cobalt, ensuring mining operations have precise information to assess ore grades and maximize profitability. We also excel in determining rare earth elements (REEs) critical for electronics, renewable energy, and defense industries.

With the growing demand for rare earths and their strategic importance, NAL is equipped to provide the high-precision analysis necessary to identify and quantify these valuable resources.
