Analytical Services

CES is committed to providing high quality, competitively priced analytical results with rapid turn-around-times. We employ energy dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) as our analytical technique to quantify the metals deposited on filters.

• Our lab is EPA approved for the analysis PM 2.5 speciation filters

• XRF is applicable to atomic numbers ranging from 13 (Al) to 92 (U)

• Our detection limits are extremely low

• All results are traceable to NIST

• We can analyze particulate deposit diameters ranging from 0.1 cm to 20 cm

• Analysis of 25, 37, and 47 mm diameter filters is routine

• Continuous sampling system tape analysis

Our Quality Management Plan is performed in accordance with EPA Compendium Method IO-3.3: For the
Determination of Metals in Ambient Particulate Matter Using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectroscopy.
