HSL undertakes routine low-level elemental analysis in biological fluids on behalf of HSE and also for a number of HSL's external customers. This analysis takes the form of testing of human exposure to contamination within the metals industry (e.g. cadmium and lead) and many other industries with exposures to a wide range of elements (welding, recycling, surface engineering etc). In order to deliver on the growing number of biological analysis undertaken and on new planned projects it is necessary to replace an older ICPMS instrument with a newer, more reliable and sensitive instrument Additional information: 1.
