LA ICP-MS is Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry.
A small amount of sample is collected using laser beam (laser ablation) and the sample is broken down into Ions (ICP) and run through a mass spectrometer for elemental/isotopic analysis.
Oh wow. I guess only the major labs will have such equipment. Sounds expensive.
I wouldn’t get another certificate unless I was selling it. It looks legitimate to me.
Thank you and I think I won’t get another cert since I don’t think my local lab has any fancy equipment to do a thorough analysis. Agree that the cert looks legit. Thanks again!
