Trace Element Reference Materials
Trace elements, including heavy metals, serve as markers or indicators of exposure to certain toxins or other dangerous substances. These elements can originate from various sources - including environmental contamination, occupational exposure, and deliberate poisoning.
Toxicological analysis to confirm the presence and concentration of trace elements aids in understanding the extent of exposure, identifying potential sources, and other valuable insights into the circumstances surrounding toxic events or cases of poisoning. It is therefore imperative that results are accurate and precise, in order to ensure that appropriate responses can be taken.
Trace element reference materials play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability of these analytical readings, and LGC Standards offers a wide range of high-quality trace element standards to support your analyses - including key heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and arsenic (As).
