ICP-MS measures metal concentrations in a sample, supporting determination of total gold or silver content, preparation purity, and trace base-metal impurities. NanoBrand performs ICP-MS analysis using a PerkinElmer NexION 2000P+ system. Samples requiring digestion undergo microwave-assisted digestion in a PerkinElmer Titan MPS 8 preparation system to support complete dissolution before measurement. The method provides sensitive elemental analysis for quality control, batch comparison, and verification of metal composition. Alongside gold and silver quantification, testing can identify and measure base metals that may be present as impurities, helping assess raw-material quality and the elemental profile of the final nanoparticle preparation.
