What is ICP-OES test? ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) is a technique used to analyze the composition of many different types of liquid samples, e.g. drinking water, brine or sea water. The Aquaforest Lab owns the highest resolution spectrometer on the market with plasma excitation with a unique, patented optical system made with horizontal and vertical plasma. Wavelength range 130-770 nm. The analysis and processing of the entire spectral spectrum takes only 2 seconds. Thanks to the fast reading system, elemental analysis possible with a sampling frequency of up to 10 Hz.

Why Aquaforest Lab? We own not one, but two of these highly advanced ICP-OES spectrometers meaning that we can perform water tests faster and provide results and solutions for aquarists almost immediately after receiving the sample.
