Applied Speciation offers analytical services and equipment to support the quantitation of trace element and metalloid speciation analysis of groundwater sources. The importance of proper documentation, including administrative and quality control, is imperative to ensuring the quality and representativeness of the data.

Groundwater can be considerably more complex than routine drinking water or river water samples due to the interaction with the soil. While total element analysis is fairly straightforward for most groundwater samples metalloid speciation analyses can be quite complicated. Depending on the ambient conditions of the groundwater the dissolved oxygen, oxidation-reduction potential, and solubility of compounds can change significantly during the sampling, shipment, and storage of the samples. Due to the complexity of many groundwater systems a single approach for preserving the molecular integrity of the samples is not appropriate. Our project managers and scientists are knowledgeable and experienced with the different options for field preservation associated with trace element and metalloid speciation analyses to maximize the probability of project success.

As cleanup requirements for groundwater become more stringent the importance of identifying and quantifying possible sources of contamination cannot be understated. Applied Speciation specially cleans all sampling equipment released for sample collection and can certify the background of the equipment prior to application in the field.

Knowledge, experience, quality, and customer service at Applied Speciation equates to project efficiency. Feel free to contact one our project managers to find out if how we may assist you with your next investigation (info@appliedspeciation.com).
