ATI® ICP Laboratory Analyses
The foundation for every successful saltwater aquarium is correctly adjusted, near-natural water parameters. Deviating from this water composition is the most common cause of a variety of problems in the aquarium, such as algae growth or coral death.
At the same time, correctly measuring water parameters presents a major challenge. The highly precise, professional ATI® Laboratory Analyses offer you the advantage of determining key water parameters (e.g., calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) much more precisely and reliably than with standard droplet tests. Furthermore, you receive a comprehensive overview of a multitude of other relevant elements that can only be determined with professional laboratory analysis.
For this purpose, the ATI® laboratory uses a variety of highly specialized analytical instruments such as ICP-OES, ICP-MS, ion chromatographs, and titrators. The most suitable measurement method is used depending on the element.
The ATI® laboratory, headed by Dr. Ben Funk, draws on many years of experience in analytics. We guarantee reliable, reproducible analysis results and are always available to assist you with any questions you may have about the measurement results. Your water analysis is in the best hands with us.
At ATI®, you can choose from three types of laboratory analyses with different measurement scopes: Standard, Pro, and Ultimate MS.
