Heavy Metals Testing for Supplements, Food & Cosmetics
Ensure safety, compliance, and consumer trust with expert heavy metals analysis.
Heavy metal testing is the process of quantifying arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury levels in consumer products using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) instrumentation to ensure compliance with USP <2232>, California Prop 65, and FDA safety guidelines.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory specializes in accurate, regulatory-compliant heavy metals testing for dietary supplements, food products, and cosmetic formulations. Our advanced ICP-MS methodologies, experienced chemists, and FDA-audited protocols ensure your products meet the highest safety and quality standards.
Why Heavy Metals Testing Is Critical
Heavy metals like arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury are toxic even at low concentrations. They can contaminate ingredients through soil, water, processing equipment, and packaging. Regulatory bodies require strict compliance with heavy metal limits to prevent neurotoxicity, kidney damage, developmental delays, and carcinogenicity.
Metals We Test For
We test for all commonly regulated metals: Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Arsenic (As — total and inorganic), Mercury (Hg — total and methylmercury), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Tin (Sn), Cobalt (Co), Antimony (Sb), Thallium (Tl), Copper (Cu), and Zinc (Zn). Custom panels and additional trace metal screening available on request.
ICP-MS Technology
Our laboratory uses ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) — the gold standard for multi-element trace detection at parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity. This enables reliable, reproducible results at concentrations far below regulatory limits.
California Prop 65 Compliance
We provide heavy metal testing aligned with California Prop 65 maximum allowable dose levels (MADLs) and No Significant Risk Levels (NSRLs). Our reports include all documentation required for Prop 65 compliance and Amazon listing requirements.
