Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique used for the detection and quantification of trace and ultra-trace levels of metals and several non-metals in various sample matrices. At SIMA LABS, ICP-MS enables precise multi-elemental analysis with exceptional sensitivity and low detection limits—making it indispensable for pharmaceutical, environmental, nutraceutical, food, cosmetic, and industrial testing. The method supports compliance with international standards such as ICH Q3D, USP <232>/<233>, and various EPA and ISO guidelines.
Key Offerings:
- Trace metal analysis in pharmaceuticals (per ICH Q3D and USP /)
- Heavy metals testing in food, nutraceuticals, and herbal supplements
- Drinking water and wastewater elemental profiling (EPA/ISO compliant)
- Detection of toxic elements like arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury
- Multi-elemental screening for soil, cosmetics, and raw materials
- Elemental fingerprinting for authenticity and origin verification

Applications
Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a highly sensitive and precise analytical technique used for the detection and quantification of trace and ultra-trace elements. Renowned for its ability to analyze a wide range of elements simultaneously, ICP-MS is essential across pharmaceutical, environmental, food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors—ensuring regulatory compliance, safety, and quality in diverse sample types.
ICP-MS can detect elements at parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels, offering one of the lowest detection limits among elemental analysis techniques.
Yes, with proper sample preparation and method validation, ICP-MS delivers highly accurate results even in complex sample matrices.
We follow ICH Q3D, USP <232>/<233>, EPA, ISO, and FSSAI guidelines based on the sample and industry requirements.
Absolutely. It can simultaneously quantify a wide range of elements—from essential minerals like iron and zinc to toxic heavy metals like lead and mercury.
