Reef Zlements offers ICP analyses using the in-house SPECTROGREEN DSOI ICP-OES, enabling you to achieve the best possible water quality.
Reef Zlement's SPECTROGREEN DSOI features a unique radial dual side-on interface that is twice as sensitive as traditional radial views and matches the sensitivity of newer vertical burner dual view systems.
Our ICP-OES device uses a newer, truly unique approach.
Its two optical interfaces capture the light emitted from both sides of a vertical plasma - with only a single additional reflection that provides additional sensitivity.
On average, the sensitivity across the entire spectral range is twice as high as that of a conventional model with a radial viewing angle.
Our state-of-the-art equipment coupled with high chemical analysis methods and standards will enable Reef Zlements to provide reef suppliers and customers with the highest quality analysis in the industry.
Elements/parameters contained: Chloride (Cl), Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K), Strontium (Sr), Boron (B), Bromine (Br), Sulfur (S), Lithium (Li), Silicon (Si), Iodine (I), Beryllium (Be), Barium (Ba), Molybdenum (Mo), Titanium (Ti), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Phosphorus (P), Phosphate (PO4), Aluminum (Al), Silicon (Si), Silver (Ag), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tin (Sn), Cadmium (Cd), Selenium (Se), Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), Lanthanum (La), Scandium (Sc), Tungsten (W), Phosphorus (P), Phosphate (PO4) and Salinity.

Dive into the advanced analysis:
A new era of reef aquarium keeping!
Enter a new era of reef aquarium management with Reef Zlements' state-of-the-art ICP analysis service. Our arsenal includes cutting-edge technology, from our in-house SPECTROGREEN DSOI ICP-OES to research-grade robotic titrators, ion chromatographs and photometers. Combined with our intelligent ICP portal, which has a vast reservoir of aquarium data, this advanced toolkit allows you to manage your aquarium the way you want and achieve unparalleled water quality.
Unmatched sensitivity:
Our SPECTROGREEN DSOI features a unique radial dual-side-on interface that doubles the sensitivity of conventional radial views and rivals even the latest vertical-burner dual-view systems. With just one additional reflection, it captures the light emitted from both sides of a vertical plasma, increasing sensitivity across the entire spectral range. This choice for saltwater analysis is endorsed by Spectro's ICP specialists.
Comprehensive elemental analysis:
We offer the most comprehensive macro and trace element analysis. From alkalinity, pH, acid binding capacity, conductivity and specific gravity to fluoride, nitrate, nitrite and sulfate, we use highly accurate methods and standards to ensure first-class results.
Advanced techniques:
Our ion chromatography technique guarantees precision for parameters such as fluoride, nitrate, nitrite and sulfate. For alkalinity, pH, acid binding capacity, conductivity and specific gravity, we use a state-of-the-art robotic titrator to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Rigorous testing:
We leave no stone unturned. Orthophosphates are measured with extreme care, eliminating chloride interference and achieving reliable results using a research-grade photometer. Our experienced chemists use their expertise to observe color and odor, which are indicators of potential problems caused by unwanted organic matter.
Clean samples for reliable data:
To ensure flawless samples, we provide a syringe and a 20 μm filter to remove detritus, bacteria and phytoplankton. This meticulous process ensures the longevity and accuracy of your samples.
Over 90 measurements:
Covering both saltwater and RODI, our advanced ICP test delivers an impressive range of over 90 measurements. From key parameters like alkalinity, pH and salinity to macro and trace elements like chloride (Cl), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), strontium (Sr), boron (B), bromine (Br), sulphur (S), lithium (Li), silicon (Si), iodine (I), beryllium (Be), barium (Ba), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), phosphorus (P), phosphate (PO4) and more, we leave no aspect of your aquarium chemistry unexplored.
Fast results:
As soon as we receive your samples in our laboratory, our experts go into action. We analyze, interpret and provide you with comprehensive results within 24 hours.

What is ICP-OES analysis?
ICP-OES stands for Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy. It is an analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of a wide range of samples. ICP-OES is widely used in various fields including environmental monitoring, geology, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage industries, and our hobby.
ICP-OES offers several advantages, such as high precision and sensitivity, and the ability to analyze multiple elements simultaneously. It is a powerful technique for elemental analysis and is widely used in laboratories to determine the concentration of trace elements and other metals in various samples.
ICP-OES is an important tool in the reef aquarium hobby and has been widely used over the past 10 years as it allows hobbyists to accurately and precisely measure the concentrations of various macro and trace elements in aquarium water. Maintaining proper water chemistry is critical to the health and well-being of the marine organisms that live in a reef aquarium.
Reef aquariums require specific amounts of essential trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, strontium, potassium and others to support the growth of corals and other invertebrates. ICP-OES can accurately measure the concentrations of these elements so aquarists can ensure they are in the optimal range.
The correct balance of trace elements is critical to the health of the reef ecosystem. Imbalances can lead to problems such as coral bleaching, STN/RTN (rapid or slow coral death), reduced growth and other health problems for the inhabitants. ICP-OES can detect even slight deviations from the ideal values so that aquarists can take appropriate action.
Reef aquariums can be sensitive to metal contamination, which can be harmful to the sensitive organisms. ICP-OES can detect the presence of metals such as copper, lead, cadmium and others, which can come from equipment, additives or other external sources.
ICP-OES provides a comprehensive analysis of aquarium water quality. This data helps aquarists identify potential problems early and take appropriate measures to maintain a stable and healthy environment for marine life.
Different species of corals and invertebrates have different trace element requirements. Using the data from ICP-OES analysis, hobbyists can tailor water chemistry to the specific needs of the organisms, promoting better growth and coloration.
When there are unexplained problems in the aquarium, ICP-OES analysis can determine potential causes. By identifying and correcting the causes, aquarists can maintain a thriving and balanced reef ecosystem.
Overall, ICP-OES analysis allows reef hobbyists valuable data and insights beyond basic water testing, allowing for an informed and proactive approach to reef keeping, resulting in a healthier and more vibrant aquarium marine life. However, it is important to use ICP-OES in conjunction with other standard water testing methods and to consult with experienced reef aquarists or marine biologists to interpret the results and make appropriate adjustments to the aquarium environment.
