Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is a powerful analytical technique used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of metals and trace elements in a wide variety of samples. At SIMA LABS, AAS is integral to elemental analysis in pharmaceuticals, food, environmental, and industrial samples. It offers high specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy in detecting metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, zinc, iron, and others in complex matrices.
Key Offerings:
- Accurate trace metal detection (ppb to ppm levels)
- Analysis of toxic heavy metals and essential minerals
- Compliance testing as per ICH, USP, FSSAI, BIS, and EPA standards
- Flame and Graphite Furnace capabilities for flexibility
- Custom method development and validation for specific matrices
Pharmaceuticals
Determination of elemental impurities in raw materials and finished products in line with ICH Q3D guidelines.
Environmental Monitoring
Analysis of heavy metals in air, water, and soil to assess pollution levels and regulatory compliance.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Monitoring of metal concentrations in raw materials, effluents, and finished goods for quality control and safety.
Food & Nutraceuticals
Detection of toxic elements and nutritional minerals (e.g., iron, calcium, zinc) in supplements, ingredients, and processed foods.
Cosmetics & Personal Care
Screening for banned metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
Applications
AAS can typically detect metals in the parts per billion (ppb) to parts per million (ppm) range, depending on the metal and sample preparation.
AAS can analyze solids, liquids, and semi-solids after appropriate sample digestion or preparation.
Flame AAS is ideal for higher concentration samples, while graphite furnace AAS is used for ultra-trace analysis requiring higher sensitivity.
Yes, all AAS testing is conducted in accordance with ICH, USP, FSSAI, and environmental authority guidelines.
Absolutely. It is widely used to monitor both hazardous heavy metals and essential minerals in various industries.
