Figures in brackets denote limits of quantification in mg/kg dry weight. Minimum sample amount: 5 g. Sample preparation may be required. Delivery time: 10-15 work days. * losses may occur upon sample preparation
Digestion: Samples are dried at 105°C, fused with lithium metaborate and dissolved in dilute nitric acid.
